Good video and even more impressed when you mentioned it was done with a G9 Fred. Now I’m even more sold on that little gizmo.

Nice to see others out there using their camera every day. For a minute there I thought I was in obsessive territory.

Nice job Fred. Hard to believe he has time to sleep & take his wife out a few times a week too. Uses his time wisely.

@ ade: Lightroom has always had the ability to allow users to adjust develop parameters (such as exposure) via keyboard shortcuts. To adjust exposure via the keyboard, simply hover the mouse arrow over the exposure slider handle and press the up/down arrow keys to adjust in increments of +/- 0.10. Alternately, you can click once in the numerical field next to the slider and make adjustments the same way.

This behavior can be applied to any control in Lightroom’s Basic/Develop panel.

Hey @Dave Nelson, FYI, this video was shot with a Canon G9.

Thanks for sharing this video. TH is such a great advocate for photography and photographers. He inspired me to shoot every day, and it has really helped my growth as a photographer.

This also makes me interested in finding out more about LR and how it compares to and fits in with Bridge and Camera RAW. I’m still using Camera RAW with PSE, but soon I think I will need something with more power.

That is a great interview. I feel inspired to carry my camera a lot more. Maybe this could be another reason to buy a G9 so I could always have that decent camera with me.

Thank you very much for an interesting interview. I’m impressed of how Thomas find time to shoot all these photos. Not only he’s shooting a lot of pictures. He has also a very high quality of his photos. Hope he finds his way into the Lightroom track soon.

If I shot anywhere near that amount I’d never even get so far as looking at the RAW files. TH must have more hours in the day than the rest of us!

I’m a CS3 Bridge + ACR user, I must confess. I did try a Lightroom demo about a year ago but didn’t really take to it. I guess it may have just been the relative unfamiliarity of new software, and not having any real problems with Bridge to make me want to move to something else.

On thing I seem to remember about LR was that I was not able to edit my exposure setting with the keyboard, or see the numerical value. I don’t always want to use the mouse with a slider. I dunno, maybe that’s changed.
