    Made the move to Adobe Lightroom 2; some regrets

Sadly, right now I’m sitting on one pretty cool shot I took of a spider a buddy of mine and I snapped recently when we took some kids from our youth group out camping.

    We woke up in the morning and the spider was a little under two feet from his head. I killed the spider with my knife (not as cool as you’d think) and then we proceeded to play with the dead remains, positioning it in all sorts of ways to try and get a cool picture. My G11 was on hand for the fun and we got a nice, close up macro shot of the little bugger that showed off his eight eyes.

    So, I come back here and see all the Google and blog searches looking for macro G11 shots and I’m dying to put this picture up, along with some others, but I sadly don’t want to upset my carefully followed workflow for putting pictures on my blog and other online venues.
