Strobist putting on the breaks
It seems running the most popular photography lighting blog on the interweb has taken its toll on the Family Strobist. David writes that the thing has taken much of his precious time and needs to be less taxing in future.
One thing led to another, and the site pretty much went nuts. Word spread faster than I ever thought possible. Not because it is better than anything else — it’s not. Because a lot of people would like to know more about using flash, and there really isn’t anything like the site anywhere else on the web.
He also outlined his “Next Phase” which includes seminars, etc. I think this is a great idea for him. He should also consider digital learning materials, audio/ebooks etc. While his blog is very educational, his seminars and workshops I am sure will be brilliant, there is a limit to how many people can afford the cost or the time off to go to a physical class and with electronically delivered tutoring he will be able to reach a much bigger market.
Good luck to you David!

Editing Photographs in Windows Vista
Microsoft Photography Blog has posted about the photo adjustment features in Vista. While the majority of us will not be moving over to Vista any time soon I welcome their idea to place basic photo correction tools right in the operating system. The point and click posse will find it useful to not have to find, download and install additional software, plus in many cyber cafes installing tools is not allowed if you find yourself laptop-less on vacation.
Vista has incorporated a bunch of easy to use, high quality, and extremely fast photo correction tools into the Photo Gallery. I’m going to walk you through what each of them does so that you can make your photos pop.
All of the editing tools in Vista are located in the Gallery Viewer. You can get to this by double clicking on a photo in either the Vista Photo Gallery or from any folder. The various fix tools are all located on a pane which you can open up by clicking the “Fix” button in the command bar.
The Vista Photo Gallery has controls to adjust exposure, color, crop region and red-eye. Each of the individual controls are accessed by clicking on the corresponding button in the fix pane. The Photo Gallery also has an “Auto Adjust” feature, which as the name implies, automatically find the best exposure and color settings for the photo.
You know one of these days I am going to have to crack open that beta and try it out. Some of this stuff looks pretty neat.

Adobe Lightroom for Windows Beta released
So have any of you tried out the Windows beta of Adobe Lightroom? I plan to try it out this weekend when I may or may not be informal-shooting another wedding. As it is beta software I will not be using it as my primary tool of course, it will be though a good test I think.
I would love to know your opinions too, Windows or Mac. Is this the workflow solution to beat all others or a bag of pants best ignored? Go download it from Adobe Labs – Project: Lightroom and let us know!
