Reading my Ask Tim Grey newsletter yesterday where he talked about the Lytro camera. I was so Boggled that i cut the ling to his blog, hope you find it as facinating as I do. If you're using Photoshop or lightroom its well worth subscribing to Tim's newsletter, its free unless you want to ask the questions and his quarterly magazine is worth a look as well.      http://timgrey.com/blog/2011/lytros-living-pictures/

After a day like today with high winds and more driving rain I figure we need a lot more sunshine, so I present you with an Everlasting Daisy taken last spring, for you good folk in the northern hemisphere that's November 2011. I wish I could send it to the poor folks on the Murray, Murrumbidgee  & Darling Rivers which are flooding horrendously right now. Good Luck Guy's.

A major step in the Imaging software world today with the release of the latest version of Adobe's Lightroom V4. Good friend & photographer Malcolm has already upgraded, he's been using the Beta version for weeks and reports it's very worthwhile. The icing on the cake is is dramatically less expensive than earlier versions so If you're looking for a powerful editing program plus excellent image database now's the time to take the plunge. On a similar subject Photoshop CS 6 his rumored to be released this year and its been confirmed that the upgrade path will be from CS3,4 or 5 which prompted me to take the plunge and upgrade to CS5 from my aging CS2. I'm finding the transition a bit steep but already seeing some major advantages so I'll persevere. 
That's enough for today my eyes are tired and its time for some rest.
