Adobe Lightroom 4.1 RC2
Adobe has released a new release candidate for Lightroom 4.1. It has added support for the Canon 60Da, the 5D Mark III was added in RC1.
There are various other bug fixes, most notably bugs from RC1.
Lightroom 4 did not properly open external applications when using the “Edit In” functionality.
Point Curve adjustments made in Lightroom 3 have been restored.
Addressed performance issues in Lightroom 4, particularly when loading GPS track logs, using a secondary monitor, and the controls within the Develop module.
Ability to update DNG previews and metadata for more than 100 photos has been restored.
This update allows for improved viewing of subfolders and stacks in folders with a large number of photos.
It was possible that a layout of a saved book could be lost after quitting Lightroom.
Here are the results of my long exposure experiment with my HTC Desire Hd, using the Camera FV-5 lite app, with a 20 second exposure, iso 100, in the dark, trying to write my name using the remote for my Sony TV.
It seems the phone can detect the IR signal from the remote.

Very simple and intuitive to use, a must have as an equivalent app for the SunSeeker app available on the iPhone.

My Sunday afternoon fun.....
Can you tell what it is yet?
Some shots I took whilst on an afternoons walk last week, late autumn, early winter, 2011.
They were taken on my ordinary HTC DESIRE HD mobile phone, at 3megapixel resolution !
Hope you like them.
I took my first ever planetary pictures of Jupiter yesterday, 1st November, 2011, using my DSLR (Canon 500d), 18-200 f3.5-5.6 lens, RedSnapper tripod, and a piece of card.
I set up the camera at 200mm, 2 second delay, f20 or so, and 3.2 second exposure, although the actual sensor exposure was less, and used Live View.
The reason being was I placed the card in-front of the lens as I took the shot, and only moved it out of the way when there was about a second left of the exposure.
The reason being was that I wanted any vibrations to die down before exposing the planet, so when I pressed the trigger, any vibrations should have died down after the initial trigger delay and the first few seconds that the sensor started to record information.
I'd then gently move the card out of the way near the end of the exposure, there by taking a shot of Jupiter with reduced or subsided vibrations.
I only knew about this technique after watching a BBC program on the night sky hosted by Brian Cox.
All in all, I only spent 10 minutes trying for the shot, so fairly happy with the result, and the fact that you can see four moons of Jupiter.
What do you think?
Ghostbuster !
Say no to ghosting with a Hoya Pro1 UV MC ultra violet multi coated filter.
I've recently signed up to a studio Portrait Lighting course, and the next few blogs will serve as my quick notes each week.
