After an unsuccessful yet wholly relaxing few hours in Fermoy trying to sell photos to seemingly unwilling passers by, I decided to return to one of my favorite spots; Garrettstown. Of course I wanted there to be huge waves so I could fully test out my new 1.4x teleconverter but it wasn’t to be. Instead there were ripples which some were still making a valiant effort to surf on. My reason for going was two fold. Firstly of course to test the new hardware and secondly to shoot a few in RAW so I may finally decide where to put my money; Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture. Still undecided. Maybe after the processing load of the blog awards next weekend I’ll have a clearer understanding of both. On that note, only 4 and a bit days left until the big night. Woo!
Apparently Bibble is great for working your raw images, I haven’t braved raw yet, but I will be soon.

Stay away from Lightroom, I have it and it sucks arse, just my $0.02!!! It’ll work, but I personally find it damn slow. I use Rawshooter Premium (I bought it before adobe snaffled it up and can send ya a copy) and find it the best so far. The Raw processor in CS3 isnt bad….but….I never liked doing raw in P/shop…..g’luck at the blog awards
