Ok, wow. I've got tons of images to post and still more to proof. I can totally see how one would get backlogged when shooting 50-100 RAW files per day. I've had three shoots this week and can hardly keep up with all the proofing. Thank goodness for iPhoto, a sweet little program that allows me to view the RAW files right away. I can't say enough good things about iPhoto for viewing. Even for quick little fixes it does a great job. For more involved stuff though, Photoshop is key. I still can't figure out how to get the files to open in PS. iPhoto launches immediately on my computer and because I'm so impatient, I just let them download.
I promised to post photos with the new lens. A few of these were taken with it, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed because it is very difficult to get ultra sharp photos with that lens. It's not very fast and unless there is a lot of light, I keep going back to my 50mm 1.4 lens. Super fast, super sharp. Especially for someone like me who has trouble keeping still. I read something about bracing your left elbow on your chest for more stability. Huh? My elbow doesn't come anywhere near my chest. I wonder if they meant hip, or stomach...Anyways. Here are some more images and more still to come. I've included a little teaser from one of the other shoots. Don't want to give up the goods all at once.

Hi Wendy! To change iPhoto's behavior for downloads, you actually have to open Image Capture and set your preference for downloading there. Image Capture is not a typical application but it does live in the Applications folder. It is really more of a utility and the first place to visit if you want to set up more options for your image downloading pleasures.
Thank you John. I found it and have changed my preferences. Very cool.
