$30 off sale ends today. This is usually their only discount of the year.



It used to take me 60+ min to pick my best shots from OSU games (when sorting through 3-6k photos). Now I can finish it up in 15-20. This does not replace Lightroom, but it helps me sort them rapidly before handing them off to Lightroom for processing.

So I've lived two lives... the one before PhotoMechanic and this new one after it. It may not be in the cards for many folks at $150 but holy crap is it fast. Gone are the days of slogging through Lightroom.

It's basically a crazy fast way to sort through your pictures and pick the best. It races through them at the speed of a cheetah, and zooms in immediately as well. Then you can go back to lightroom and do your tweaking.

@scarletmike, this has to be on your christmas list if you don't have it already.

Thanks for this recommendation. Slogging through my too large library in LR is the biggest hinderance I have. I'll definitely be taking a look at this.

EDIT: Yay, 30 day free trial. I'll be grabbing the trial just before I head to DC so I have it in a time that it would be most useful and gives me the most chance to use it.

I have some grander photos coming from our hikes through Virginia, NC & TN, but my wife spotted this along one of the trails:

Finally getting some time to go through our pictures from December. In addition to the 100-400, I may have also splurged on a 100mm macro lens. Boy is that thing fun to play with......it would be more fun if there was no wind and the MF bugs would stay still.


Spotted sandpiper (non-breeding plumage, hence the distinct lack of spots....)



Red Saddlebags dragonfly


Black Skimmers

Reddish Egret -- one of my favorites -- @scarletmike -- if you run into one of these guys, hang out and watch them for awhile. They dance all over the place when they are hunting. It's awesome.


Brown Pelican


Another brown pelican -- I desperately wish the lighting had been better on this one.....

Got through the rest of the South Texas pictures tonight.....



Three green herons....it is shocking how far their necks stretch


Least Bittern.....one of the shyest birds you will find. It was our last night there and just half an hour before dusk before we found one of these buggers.

Long-billed Curlew -- one of the highlights of the trip and one of 40+ life birds we got in the two weeks. Ridiculously long bill


American Avocets....one of my favorites and one of the prettiest shorebirds out there.....and this isn't even their breeding plumage


Marbled Godwits....another treat of a bird. They are typically solitary unless it gets very cold, in which case apparently they bunch in to groups of 60. I doubt I will ever see so many of them together as we did our last morning.


Any guess as to why this is called a Black Skimmer?
