Two Mac Articles to Share: Mac at 30 and OmniOutliner 4
Two Mac-related articles of mine were published this week: My latest Practical Mac column at the Seattle Times celebrates the 30th (!!) birthday of the Macintosh, looking back at the original model and how much of its appearance and influence have continued to the present: Mac is still with us, even thriving 30 years later. ...

Sparks Lake Cool Sunset
This photo comes from Sparks Lake in Oregon. I promise, I didn’t add any purple tone to this. (If you don’t believe me, take a look at Mason’s photo.) It was a beautiful sunset, and great to be out in it, despite the cold. As always, this looks better bigger. If you like the work ...

Risk Appetite
I love this post by my friend Mason Marsh, “Risk Appetite.” Photographers take all sorts of risks when shooting, and sometimes it ends up with broken camera bodies and human bodies. What’s your risk appetite? Yes, I want to capture great photos, but I also like being in one piece. He writes: I feel for ...

I’m seeing more examples of wireless iPad workflows for reviewing photos during a photo shoot. Most “tethered” situations require DSLRs (and usually just Nikon or Canon models). In this article, Don Craig employs an iPad, an Eye-Fi Mobi card, and the app Photosmith to sync images and metadata to Lightroom from Fuji cameras.

So You Want to Attend a Photo Workshop
Frequent readers here know that I thoroughly enjoyed a photo workshop I attended last October. It was a chance to focus solely on my photography, experiment with styles I didn’t have much experience with, and drink a fair amount of really good coffee. But what other aspects of a photography workshop are important? I enjoyed ...

Rumors of an iPad companion app for Lightroom surface
Last week, 9to5Mac posted an article about a leak on Adobe’s Web site that revealed what appears to be a Lightroom app for the iPad. According to the leak, the app would be a service that costs $99 per year (or may be included in a Creative Cloud subscription). A Lightroom app for iPad was ...

Using Cameras’ Built-in Wi-Fi at CES
Derrick Story has an article at Macworld about how he used the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities of the Canon 70D and Olympus OM-D E-1 and their respective iOS apps to share images during the day when he attended CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) early this month. Manufacturers are finally getting the message that built-in Wi-Fi is ...
