As it turns out, Lightroom 3 will not support PowerPC which, for me, means I’m left out for this upgrade. I do all of my photo processing on a dual 2.7ghz G5 which happens to be plenty fast enough for the task, but is running off the wrong chipset. It’s truly a shame that a perfectly good $3000 tower isn’t capable of running new software. What’s worse is that I can only get about $600 on ebay if I were to try to sell it.

Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 has the following requirements for Mac:

Mac OS

  • Intel based processor
  • Mac OS X v10.5 or 10.6
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 1GB of available hard-disk space
  • 1,024×768 display

At this point, I’m not sure I’m surprised at this, but I took more photos with my iPhone last week on vacation than I did with my Canon. I think the convenience of having it always in my pocket and the ability to switch to video played a big role. Another factor was that it didn’t draw a whole lot of attention when I used it like the other camera would have.

Overall, I’m happy with results and I don’t quite regret not having the crisper, larger images since I have a handful of decent videos instead.

Having photographed many, many weddings, I’ve had the chance to see a lot of wedding entrances. I’ve never seen anything like this though. A lot of couples will get inventive for their introduction at their reception, but most tend to stick to tradition for the ceremony, especially if theirs is held at a church.

I think what’s great about this video and the way the wedding party entered is that they immediately brought the level of enthusiasm and fun right through the roof. Nothing makes a wedding more memorable (especially for someone like me who has been to dozens) than getting your friends and family involved as much as possible – even the ones that might not like to dance.
