    OS X, Lightroom, and the new Photos App:

    Earlier this week, OS X 10.10.3 was released, which includes the much-anticipated new Photos app — Apple’s full replacement for both iPhoto and Aperture. 

    I’ve been using Photos App for several months now (since the first beta was made available). It’s now a major part of my photography workflow, and, therefore, my life. 

    So, here’s a basic outline of my workflow.

    I quite like Kenneth’s workflow, I might adopt something similar with Lightroom CC and Apple Photos. Also doesn’t matter what device I’m on, it works on my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.

  • The latest Lightroom update for the iPad is awesome, direct import from SD card is killer! My photography workflow is almost perfect, just need a way to backup the iPad when not online.

  • Have been visited by a pair of Crimson Rosellas the last couple of evenings. I haven’t mowed the lawn in a couple of weeks, so the dandelions are going crazy right now, turns out the Rosellas love the flowers…not to mention the bees.

  • Wish I had my proper camera with me, I loathe digital zoom.

  • The sunset from 2 days ago, quite stunning to watch in person.

  • A couple of bird photos, pretty sure it’s a Red Vented Bulbul, an invasive species from India .
