For anyone not watching the Apple event, Adobe is giving a presentation on Photoshop. Looks like you'll be able to use the touch bar for tool editing

The new Microsoft surface computer / workstation is much more exciting then anything Apple released today.

Install apple osx with a 1tb hard ssd hard drive and 32 gb of ram.

Is that even possible? Are the internals up-gradable by the user because that's a hefty price tag?

 

[djyoung08]

built my work machine.

just put in a 4tb HDD today

my demands are higher than what my budget allows when it comes to pre-built computers.

No way I can get that surface thing w/ 9.5TB worth of hard drives

Love my computer. Named it Anti-Venom

Transferring my RAWs right now

^:x What are the specs on your setup?

Do you keep all the images you shoot or just the edited ones?

Transferring my RAWs right now

Is that all you got?

4.15 TB, 286,366 photos (no duplicates )

A couple of photos at Steph Curry's 3rd signature UA shoe at Pier 35 in SF.

I'm starting to be a lot more mercenary - I'll often have a good shot that I'll spend some time on, but the ones either side will be similar but just not quite as good - and they're gone immediately. Still working through my historical stuff to do the same but I should cut it down to about 25% of everything taken.

This is all the parts in my PC build excluding the hard drives

Its my workhorse and I have the GTX 1080 for gaming & using it for GPU acceleration on Lightroom

There's almost ZERO loading between selecting a RAW file and having the 1:1 ready to edit. Love it.

14 months of photography grinding

I still run on an old iMac from like 2011. Upgraded the ram to 16GB and got 2 externals on it and it seems to run fine. I still use Photos app to upload everything but I know people just like to throw them on folders and what not and use Lightroom. I did update my OS finally and PS has crashed on me twice already. Not sure if that was coincidence or issues with the new OS. Anyone else run into similar issues?

I use occasionally use PS/Lightroom on a 2014 MBP but we're talking 1-2 hours a week. I've had no issues on OS Sierra. But again, I dont use it enough.

I use Lightroom and PS 20+ Hours a week on Windows 10 and run into the expected amount of issues you would run into from using any piece of software that much.

Same here, I used to keep all the photos including the throwaway ones but found once I started running out of space I started deleting a lot of them.

i keep everything except for the really bad misses, you never know how those throwaways may hit your eye later on; it is kinda like always having a contact sheet/record of what i've done...storage space is so cheap these days

 

[s-blaze]

just some random stuff but finally bought the nikon 50mm 1.8 after having and using the 28mm exclusively since december. the 22mm difference will take some getting used to but glad to have something else to mess around with.

What shutter speed are you using for the traffic?

 

[ksteezy]

So I bought a DJI Mavic pro :x

slightly salty i didn't pre-order, but i figured better to get in on the second batch, in case there are any issues...were you able to get any flight time in, what's the verdict?

 

[doxen5703]

So I bought a DJI Mavic pro :x

Repped!
Let us know what's up. Was pretty close to copping the GoPro Karma until I saw that Mavic. :x

 

[ksteezy]

They haven't shipped yet, least not mines...it says sometime in Novemeber...I will keep ya posted

Total impulse buy

 

[bjamez20]

So I bought a DJI Mavic pro

Man I'm jealous. I was on the fence too...but then I looked at my Phantom collecting dust in the corner 

 The portability of the Mavic is a huge  perk though.

Looking forward to seeing what ya capture with it

met my dude Matt at photoExpo the other day, he's the creator of HoldfastGear, not sure how many of you are familiar with his stuff, but if you ever seen a photog shooting with what looks like a leather gun holster, well he's the one that created them, started back in 2011, I got my first strap around 2012 and I remember he only had the straps and about 800 followers on IG, since then dude has grown his brand to a whole other level, his brand is known universally amongst pro photogs, really an incredible moment.

I scooped up this sightseer backpack that was sold out on the first run, best camera bag I've ever owned.

Out for a road trip around the highlands of Scotland with my keen and competent photo buddy. He picked me up at 4am which was brutal but we had a good day. The weather was terrible - the plan was to climb a mountain in the dark for sunrise down Glencoe - but after an hour of climbing clouds descended and we knew we weren't going to see a thing - and it was the right decision. Later in the day got more interesting with the cloud/mist adding something to the scenery.

So far this is my favourite of the day - Castle Kilchurn which I hadn't seen before.
