I’ve just got back from a weekend in the Peak District National Park<\/a> and, rewarded with clear blue skies as dawn broke yesterday morning, I rushed to the top of Mam Tor<\/a> to rekindle my long-dormant desire to make great landscape photographs<\/a> (I’m no Joe Cornish<\/a>, but there has to be some reward for leaving my tent at 5.15).<\/p>\n

It gave me a chance to try out a number of things that I’ve wanted to do for a while – shooting camera raw (.NEF) images and using the Lee Filters<\/a> 0.6 ND graduated filter that I bought a couple of years ago. I have to say, that I am definitely a convert to these features (although they would not be practical for the majority of my photography which falls into the “snapshots of the kids” category). Both the OS X Preview application and my post-production tool of choice (Adobe Photoshop CS2) had no difficulty opening the camera raw files<\/a> and the quality is excellent (Windows users might find this post useful<\/a>). Meanwhile, whilst using a large graduated filter on a camera with only a 24mm image sensor makes it slightly difficult to position, using the 0.6 ND filter to tone down the sky by two stops<\/a> meant that I was able to take pictures with a well-exposed foreground, without washing out the highlights.<\/p>\n

\"Renamer4Mac\"I also found a couple of little programs came in useful when I got home. Firstly, having had some issues with my CF card<\/a> before leaving home, I formatted it and the file numbering recommenced from DSC_0001.* – thanks to a little recommendation from my buddy Alex, I used Renamer4Mac to bulk rename the files<\/a>. Also useful (although not for the RAW files) was \"SimpleAli Ozer’s Simple EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X<\/a>, which let me easily examine the EXIF data on my images (something sadly lacking in the OS X Finder).<\/p>\n

Finally, whilst writing about OS X and digital photography (apologies to Windows readers but my digital photography workflow is based on a Mac) it’s worth mentioning one little tip that can come in useful (much as I hate to publicise anything from Scott Bourne, whose “advice” often serves only to fuel Apple elitism and general Mac vs. PC bigotry, I think I picked this up from an iLifeZone<\/a> podcast). \"PreviewingUnlike the Windows Preview function, which lets viewers page forwards and backwards through a directory of files, the OS X Preview default is to open just a single file. Switchers are often frustrated by this (I know I was) but it is possible to open multiple images in Preview<\/em> (by selecting multiple files, then choosing to open with Preview), after which the cursor keys can be used to scroll through the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
