I had been in Europe for almost a week before I saw my first sunny day.

FInally, with the release of Aperture 2.0, I can catalog and scan the D300 images easily. So far the new release seems stable and reasonably more capable. There are a few raw decoding glitches, but mostly the D300 images are appropriately rendered.

However my experience with Capture NX and the in camera settings of the D300 will probably reduce my use of Aperture post processing. In a scenic landscape like this, I can very quickly create an image with some snap. But the saturation and D-Lighting effects that I get with Capture NX in combination with the local control of the Efex filters within Photoshop will generally limit Aperture to cataloging and quick conversions- like this one.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people. View all posts by James Vornov
