The CEO of Adobe made news recently by announcing that Adobe is to take Photoshop online… CNET: Adobe to take Photoshop online If you’re like me you took a double take upon seeing this headline. Photoshop online?! This certainly seems like an odd approach and if you read this article in full you’ll even see that this model will impact Adobe’s new product Photoshop Lightroom. I have an interest

This weekend I decided to take advantage of some limited free time to pursue some wildlife photography. In the process of sorting through some options as to what to photograph I lured a friend into going out with me. The prospect of photographing native birds and sea mammals lured her like a moth to the flame. Our first choice of subject was elusive, the harbor seal (see Part II later this week).
