It was summer and I was hired to shoot the Little League Juniors baseball state championships. I knew I was going to need a workflow that could help me process hundreds of images a night and provide the necessary integration with my website. Being a software developer and a video editor, I know there really [...]
No no no…not a ho-hum experience…a “Whoa!–hmmm” (stroke your chin while you say hmmm) experience. I was reading Scott Kelby’s blog today and decided to take a look at a link for Ryan Shude Photography that Scott suggested his readers check out.
