Lightroom Effects

The latest trip to Richmond was not only a great time spent catching up with family I don’t get to see nearly often enough, it was also a chance to get out and shoot some photos. Coming back, it became a great chance to play around with the Lightroom 3.0 beta that I have been using, and since the beta period is going to be ending soon, what better way to try and decide if it might be worth buying than to play around with some of Lightroom’s features.

Of course, as I’m mentioned before, I love trying out different presets, and combination of presets, to create some interesting visuals to otherwise bland photos. Monday, being a rainy and overcast day in general, didn’t offer much opportunity to get very colorful images. Lightroom, however, offered some ways to use color, or the lack thereof, to my advantage, and I really like some of the interesting things I was able to do with photos.

Meanwhile, our trip Sunday to Yorktown was a beautiful and sunny day, which offered opportunities to try and capture just how nice the weather was, amidst the history of the place!

    About Last Week

    When I look back on those years, it breaks my heart to know that half (probably much more!) of the people in our industry exist as some version of me in my teens and twenties because they don’t feel safe. On a very personal level, it makes me cry for all the pain and hurt out there that I wish others didn’t have to know so well. On a professional level, it hurts all of us. How much better equipped could we be for technology changes and the challenges of working in the legal industry if there weren’t so many women and men who felt the need to hide to feel safe? How much more successful could your organization be if all of these folks felt safe enough to stop hiding their talents and ideas? Leaders, what are you doing to ensure that everyone feels safe? Are you telling them how to hide themselves better, or are you creating a space where they don’t need to?

    It matters to the bottom line, it matters in terms of career development, and it matters personally to far too many people who have their own stories to tell about their own experiences in and around our industry. Listen to them. Let it hurt you to hear their stories. Let it be heavy for you to learn the truth. Let that hurt turn into a determination to put an end to it.

    ABA Techshow

    I had just started to see some mentions of the American Bar Association’s TechShow 2008 in Chicago in March this week, and on Thursday I found out that I was being sent there myself, which is pretty cool. I didn’t know how cool until I came across a partial listing of bloggers who will be…

    Privacy Badger Blocking Sharing Buttons

    As you may know, when the EFF Released Privacy Badger as Do Not Track Tool I was excited to share the news, and curious to see how it worked in real life. On one hand it is a great way to see what sites are actually keeping track of you, and give you some control…

  • Birthday Notes

    Since today was my 39th birthday, and because I’ve ben lax when it comes to any sort of personal news around here lately, I thought it might be a good time for a few notes. One, the big tech birthday gift was a 30GB iPod. Yes, it’s true, I have to admit that I’ve never…

  • Flickr Stats

    Yes, apparently, there is a Santa Claus! Flickr’s got Stats for Pro members. I just activated mine, so I don’t know how well they work yet, but they tell me there should be some stats to actually look at in a day or so. I’ll definitely post more when I see more! Technorati tags: Flickr,…
