I apologize for the dearth of posts lately. I’m slowly working to get more comfortable with my new Macbook Pro and OSX. Surprisingly enough for me it’s not been as big of a leap as I thought it was going to be moving from Windows (at least for my personal computer – I’m a software developer with MS tools so my work laptop will always be Windows). I’m extremely happy with the performance so far and I’m sure OSX is a zippy OS but I think it has more to do with the quad core, 8GB RAM, and the SSD then the OS. I had the stock 5400RPM drive in for a few hours before the SSD came in the mail and I noticed a very big difference before and after. My favorite aspect though is I can actually process my photos without twiddling my fingers for a few minutes every time I try to save or render a shot.
This photo is actually the first I’ve processed in a couple weeks and my first on my Macbook. I’ve adjusted my post processing workflow a bit so once I get it down to a point I like I’ll be sure to share it as I know a lot of folks like to see what other photographers do during post processing. This shot was taken a few weeks back on an unusually cold morning. The fence was annoying me a bit so I decided to try to use it in the shot as opposed to shooting over and around it. The farm is the last local farms around the corner from me that hasn’t been sold, is actively under development, or for sale. I think this will likely be the last season where I’ll catch this shot, at least with the barbed wire and rolled up . Gotta love progress lol.
