![]() More than 5 years after I purchased a Nikon 60mm Macro 2.8 and a Nikon 85mm 1.8 D, I had finally surpassed their capabilites. Although, to be fair, I was so happy with all my gear, there just wasn’t a reason at all to upgrade any of it. For the past few years, I’ve managed that addiction really well. Let’s hope the next 5 years are as great to us as the first 5, but that they go by just a bit slower. The distance and time challenges are made every easier, knowing she’s in the ever capable hands of Cheryl. I regret the days I don’t get to see her and I so very much enjoy the moments I do get to spend with her. Add in the fact, she’s a master on her iPad, growing up technologically savvy and is opinionated…and well…you can see why I’m busting at the seams just talking about her. She has that great mix of confidence and cockiness that you’ll need to succeed in this world. We tend to think she takes after me…even though she looks like Cheryl. Not to get overly sentimental, but you can really appreciate the concept of kids being a miracle…after you have your own.Īt 5 she already has her own personality. It always blows my mind to think that I helped create her. It’s amazing how grown up she has gotten. The above are photos taken on each birthday. ![]() The photo I was referencing is this one of my daughter, during a moment in between games at her 1st basketball tournament: Please pass this on to your product team, marketing team and whomever should know that the software your company creates, changes and improves lives. As an example, of what you’ve enabled me to create, I attached the latest capture. Thank you for making such a great suite of software. You’ve got, not just a happy customer, but a big time fan and a life-long supporter and purchaser. Frankly, I wish I had been a DXO user, years ago. I purchased the full software suite, just before the New Year and I’m blown away. When Nikon abandoned their users by no longer supporting cameras in NX2, I was a bit lost. I didn’t see an option to contact you about something good! I’ve been photographing with Nikon since my first camera a Nikon FE2, in 1986. I was so stunned, this is what I sent directly to DxO: This included DxO Optics Pro, DxO Filmpack and DxO Viewpoint.Ĭandidly, I was stunned, with how damn good it was. Just before the new year I purchased their full suite of photo editing software products. I should say, I stumbled upon DxO and their full suite of software products. In doing some research, I stumbled upon DxO Optics Pro. Here I was with this great new Nikon D810 and my images were being compromised by bad software. It’s barely better than Microsoft Paint from Windows 3.11. But, for reasons I can’t fathom, all cameras post D700 were no longer supported. It was a nearly flawless piece of software for processing Nikon’s proprietary RAW (the equivalent of a film negative) digital file format. Their software is rudimentary, inadequate and an insult to photographers. Be it my N80, N90 or F5, in the film days or my D100, D2Hs, D700 and most recently, D810 in the digital days of today, I’m a Nikon guy. My first camera was a Nikon FE2 the camera of choice for National Geographic photographers. I’ve been playing with cameras since 1986, when I was 7. There are feelings of joy, excitement, pride and more, that come at the perfect moment when software becomes transformational. It’s something that empowers and enables its users to create emotions and feelings. Software, when done right, is so much more than 1s and 0s. I don’t think people who develop software realize the pure emotion they can create in their users.
