I’ve also been working with David Schloss at maccreate.com to write tutorials and do videos for the launch.
Everyone will love the new Brushes and Presets feature, but will be totally blown away by Places. Even the simple stuff, like metadata management is much better. The import speed is super cool because you don’t have to wait for it copy over before working on the images. On top of quick brushes, nearly every adjustment is brushable. I could go on but take a look at this run down on maccreate.com.

Check some fellow photographers who are currently blogging about Aperture 3: Edmond Terakopian, Chase Jarvis, and Sara France.

Also, check out the Aperture 3 adjustment preset package Sara France and I are selling on maccreate.com.

I’m now an associate photographer for Craig Mitchelldyer. We’ve known each other for a long time. I respect his photography, worth ethic and they way he does business. Craig’s customers always leave happy. He provides a great product for a fair price.
This arrangement allows me to concentrate on shooting and puts the post production and distribution in his capable hands. I look forward the coming year. Here’s Craig’s blog entry with the announcement.

I shot this at the Century Plaza in Los Angeles, Calif., on Oct 10, 2009, when I visited the Annenberg Space for Photography. I was really blown away by the scale of this facility. I shot it on a 5D Mark II with a 50/1.4 at f8. I achieved the low-key look with Aperture using the highlight shadow tools, de-saturation, and color monochrome module.
