About
I’m an I.T. pro (systems admin) and a digital photograpy enthusiast, pragmatic and geeky by nature. Since I’ve got a RAW capable camera (first a Powershot G3, then an EOS 10D, now 30D and looking forward a 5D) I’ve been in the quest for the ideal “Digital Darkroom” and workflow for processing my “digital negatives” extracting the max out of the Camera, lenses and software.
