Some New England Fall pics taken yesterday.
What it takes to be a (great) photographer:
This Shot of a Diving Kingfisher Was 6 Years and 720K Photos in the Making
"6 years, 4,200 hours, and 720,000 exposures" for a single shot!
Until I took a photography class, I never realized how many shots it took professional photographers to get the "perfect" photo. That guy has some beautiful shots.
I wonder if I could get some recommendations on some photo software for a MAC. My wife does all the picture taking and she does not do much if any editing. She has a windows machine now and we both really like how the windows viewer works. Basically, you just click on a folder and click on a picture and you can easily scan/view all the pictures in the folder. Very similar to a photo album with very little effort.
Is there a MAC program that stands out as a great program for simple organizing and viewing of a large amount of pictures?

If you have a Mac running an older version of OS X, like say 10.9, then you should be able to get iPhoto on the App Store.
If you have a Mac running a newer version, such as 10.10 or 10.11, it comes with an app. called Photos.
You can set up Photos to display photos you take with an iPhone or iPad on the same iCloud (free) account. As well as import photos you take with a regular camera.
Depending on how old your Mac is, you may be able to update to the latest OS version, 10.11, for free.
If you're taking pictures with a higher end camera which can shoot in RAW mode, you can also buy Adobe Lightroom for about $150 a one-time purchase or you can subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud for $10 a month to use Lightroom and Photoshop.
However, you can also use the free Photos app in 10.11 to also edit RAW files.
Nice shot.I started some new stuff in the Photography Equipment thread, but this one seems quiet. Here is a photo from Cottonwood Cove in Coyote Buttes South, Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona. I often see photos of The Wave, which is in Coyote Buttes North. I couldn't get the permit for North, but did get one for South. Has anyone else been here?
This was on a 2 1/2 week trip around northern Arizona that included both rims of the Grand Canyon, Petrified Wood National Park, Monument Valley, and Antelope Canyon among other places. Got any good shots?
Nice shot.
I've never been to Vermillion Cliffs, but it's on my list now.
