Aperture: My Photography Revolution!

I wanted to take a few moments to share how much I love the new version of Aperture, Apple’s professional photography application.

My love for photography began a few years ago when I had used my 4mp Kodak point-and-shoot camera to it’s limit and decided to buy my first dslr. I have to admit, using a dslr was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was under the impression that I could take the most amazing “Pro” photos right out of the box… but I found the opposite of that to be true. The dslr world took some learning (thanks david asscherick) and getting use to.

I’ve also learned that the best photographers are the best photographers, not solely because of their photography skills and nice equipment, but also by their ability to use a photo editing application well. I purchased Apple’s Aperture about 6 months ago because Photoshop was overwhelming and slowed my workflow. I’ve learned a lot since using Aperture, and my photos have seen major improvements (especially since I began shooting raw). However,  Aperture 3  has taken my photography to a whole new level and has dramatically sped up my workflow.

If you care at all about how your digital photos look… try Aperture… you will love it! Thanks Apple for another great app!

I’m including a few photos I took today (and edited very quickly)… enjoy!
