Been taking pix, but haven't really looked at them, just randomly uploaded them into my iPhoto library. I only really got around to checking them out tonight, and found some really cool ones. Here are two that got a general rating of approval.
This first one I took about three hours ago when we were driving up Berthoud Pass on our way into the mountains to do some good ol'-fashioned skiing. The moon was beautiful and full - and, of course, my camera had a bunch of issues with it. I took 5 photos. This was the only one even remotely worth keeping. I edited it into oblivion, and now it looks good - as opposed to a black void with a white spot in the middle.
And this one's just kind of cool.
I should be sending a teaching post at y'all quite soon, keep checking up on our site!

Editing with iPhoto? Is there such a thing? To be frank, it's the suckiest program for image editing out there. Photoshop all the way!
i agree with pessimystic, iphoto and imovie both suck ass. even if you like macs you must admit that they're pretty horrible.
unrelated: the first picture is really cool, the way the light is framed at the center, and the clear separation of the foreground from the background is nice. personally i don't care too much from the second one, it receives the blinding , mind-exploding power of my apathy. meh.
You use "meh" as an adjective too! Congratulations! Your coolness just went up a little bit.
iPhoto DOES suck. Which is why people should know how to use it. Plus it's all we Mac users have got if we don't have PhotoShop.
And finally, glad you approve of my first photo. The second one is a picture of a puddle. But the focus is on the reflection in the water, not on the street around it. Ergo, unique and awesome.
I never said Macs are horrible. But most Apple-designed software just isn't up to par. They make it so that your grandma can use it, which leaves us better users with no features. That's why I'm big on Adobe.
Except Adobe charges small fortunes for their software.
I like freeware- chances are, if there's something you need from a program, there's someone who's already made it and is distributing it for free on t3h intarwebz.
I found a program that re-organizes the boot files for XP so it boots up and shuts down really fast.(I only use this OS because I'm comfortable with it and it's been on this computer for 5 years now and I don't want to change it.)
I have a little bit of freeware, and have found it quite useful. LogKext, which is a free keystroke-recording modifier, is one of them. And the other one is Senuti, which uploads all files from iPods (not only purchased songs, but photos, movies, etc. as well) onto computers.
I can write software to do what Senuti does...
And yes, Adobe charges about the cost of a car for their products. But seriously, it's the most complex software ever written. They deserve their share.
I know you can write software to do that. You can write software to do anything, 'cause you're Carter. But someone already wrote software to do what Senuti does, evidently. ;)
