November 2009 Desktop Calendar
I’m back in the Windy City and slowly getting caught up. I decided I would get a jump on things and get November’s desktop calendar to you a little early. If you need the 1600X1200 click HERE; 1200X800 click HERE; 1920X1200 HERE and for you iPhone users that just want a cool wallpaper click HERE. Feedback is always welcomed on ways I can improve the desktop calendar for you, so just let me know.
For those of you that might have missed Adobe’s announcement of its “beta” version of Lightroom 3. It’s available for download by anyone, regardless if you’ve owned it previously or not. The “beta” version will expire on April 30th 2010. Keep in mind this is a beta product and it might have some bugs or enhancements to be worked on. The new version sports better sharpening, a watermark tool (finally) and easier importing and exporting features. If you’re on the adventuresome side, I recommend checking it out HERE.
Speaking of upgrades, I tackled the Windows 7 upgrade this weekend and it went flawlessly. I’m happy to report that it seems to play well with Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and all my plug-ins. It’s pretty slick and does seem to be snappier than Vista. Vista was a disaster but Window 7 seems to be off to a good start.
It’s been a couple of months since we’ve had a contest, so I thought we would kick November off with a fun one – so stay tuned and I’ll have the details to you on Friday. Have a great Monday…John

Hey John, I like the photo. I also like that it does break the rules/guidelines. I really enjoy your site and the information you provide. I do this as a hobby and am not a pro by a long shot. My background is an Art Director for an advertising agency. I was wondering if you've ever considered providing more information with your photos, kinda like Outside Magazine does? It really helps me if I know what type of lens is used fstop etc. Just wondering. Keep up the good work.
Mark,
I've given it some thought but no one has really requested it. I'll put it on my to-do list for this November. Thanks again for following. Those Outdoor Magazine shots are great…
Hi, I'm new to face book and found your site. I am an amateur photographer here in Milwaukee taking classes for a digital certificate. I'm a fan of you work, Is the tilt in your November calender photo intentional? I play angles more than is traditional and PSA elitists don't like it.
Is this a HDR image? Do you use HDR. What do you think of it? By the way what's your camera choice? Thanks for your time, Bonnie
Bonnie,
Thanks for stopping by the site. The composition was 100% intentional. The photo is not hdr but I do enjoy HDR. I think HDR is a wonderful way to expand our creativity. I currently shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II but I think any camera that you enjoy using will serve you well. Thanks again for stopping by and hope you subscribed to the blog.;) John
