Posted by Stretch | Filed under Desktop Releases, Photography
This one is from my trip to Vermont. On one of our last days we took a small hike down to Bingham Falls, near Stowe. This is one of the many shots I got while climbing down the falls.
Taken with the following settings: ƒ22 • 28mm • 1.6sec • ISO 100
Aperture VS Lightroom: The Pros
Posted by Stretch | Filed under Photography, Reviews, Software
For digital photographers there are two major options for managing and editing their photos. Apple’s Aperture, and Adobe’s Lightroom. So what do the pros use, Lightroom or Aperture?
InfoTrends recently surveyed 1,026 professional photographers in North America to determine which software they used for raw file processing. Here’s what folks reported:
- 66.5% using the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in
- 23.6% using Lightroom
- 5.5% using Aperture
To be fair to Aperture, it might be helpful to remove Windows users from the equation for a moment. Even after doing so, Lightroom’s usage among Mac-based pros is still nearly double that of Aperture (26.6% vs. 14.3%).
I’ve tried both, and like Lightroom much better over Aperture, and it seems that the Pros mostly side with my thinking.

While on my vacation in Vermont, we stopped at Rock of Ages granite quarry. We got to tour the quarries, and watch them work as they were creating the memorials.
Check out photos in the gallery from the quarry.
