Hi Mark,

Actually, just getting started with Media Pro, hoping to write my thoughts on it this next few weeks, both on MP and other ways of managing images.

I bought Capture One Pro whilst it was on 50% off a few weeks ago, I love it, never got on with Lightroom or Aperture and instead was using Bridge and Photoshop, once I’ve spent the time to learn Capture One I’m well impressed with it.

Do you use Media Pro? I got that as a bundle with Capture One, seems a good way of cataloging my images.

Comment on They Don’t Write Like That Any More. Do They? by Neill Watson

Hi Dan,

I’m reluctant to upload the scans of the feature, as it’s subject to copyright. The article, without pictures, is on Racecar Engineering’s website here:

Other than that, eBay might turn up the odd copy, if you’re lucky!

Any chance of scanning the article and uploading it online then? You’ve got me intrigued… I’d be fascinated to read it. As I’m sure many others would be too.

I wasn’t even alive when that article was written. How am I ever going to get hold of old gems like that issue?… (

Comment on Aerial Photography – It Shows How Nothing Lasts Forever by Neill Watson

Thanks for the comment, Steve,

That was a simple grab shot, actually done through an acrylic helicopter nose window as we circled around for a different target. Normally, we have the door removed and shoot through the open air.

For removing haze, I normally use Capture One, by Phase One. You can set various ‘recipes’ to recall and some of them work quiet well.

When I have time, I’ll write a post about it. Glad you like the blog.

Neill, I agree with your philosophy on aerial photography – before/after. I’d really suggest you get a post demolition photograph from the exact same vantage point to show before and after.

It’s a great shot. Just a subtle critique – is there anything you can do to remove the slight haze in the image? Any favorite Photoshop actions would you apply to your aerial work?

Great stuff – keep sharing!

-Steve

Very very clever. Great writing!

Personally I am a book man but I do have an unpacked Kindle that I haven’t had time for yet! I should imagine that as soon as I do, then I’ll leave books for a bit, but will always return to them
