Head on over to the Aperture Users Professional Network for some neat tutorials on Aperture.

Check out the rest of the site while you’re there.

Here’s a page that contains six more sample shots from the new Nikon D3 taken by photographers Dave Black, Mike Corrado and Joe McNally. They are all jpeg images and, so, that means they’ve been processed either by the camera or Nikon’s Capture software. This means we are probably not seeing the full range of the raw image presented to us - for instance, the background in the McNally image is showing some banding. I hope that we won’t see that in the final production camera.

Otherwise, I’m pretty impressed with the overall quality. Noise levels are low enough in the high ISO images to be quite usable, and probably acceptable to places like Getty Images and other stock houses (my benchmark for acceptable imagery).

Here are some links to help you get started with copyrighting your photographs.

• Editorial Photographers page on copyright
• Bert P. Krages II page on copyright
• Library of Congress’ page on copyrighting visual art works

This is certainly a case of do as I say and not as I do. I’ve got to get my stuff copyrighted.

If you click on this link (warning, PDF download) you should be downloading a 178-page update to Martin Evening’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book, The: The Complete Guide for Photographers book. Probably the best and most comprehensive LightRoom book out there at the moment. The PDF covers what is new in the recent LightRoom 1.1 update. Of course, LightRoom is at 1.2 now. You can download the 1.2 update here (it contains the 1.1 update too)

If the link doesn’t work, please let me know. It’s about a 20 meg download, so it’ll take a few minutes.
