New Photo Software

I purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 today. Staples had it on sale for $59.59. That’s a really great price. I’ve been playing with it and it’s not too bad. It has a graphic compression that can really reduce the size of a jpg for the web with very little sacrifice in quality.

I also like the panorama function. That’s the one that allows me to stitch together multiple images into one panorama. Since my camera doesn’t have a very wide-angle lens, I am frequently forced to use that function to get the whole scene in.

I have gotten my LightMachine to work as a plugin without any difficulty. I’m still working on getting my edges to work, however.

This picture was taken last night during our trip to Ocean City, New Jersey. I thought the electric palm trees made an interesting picture. I’m going to have to take my monopod so I can better hold the camera still.

The shutter speed on this was 1/25th of a second at f/2.8 and an ASA of 400.
