Focus On Imaging 2010

       

Today was the penultimate day of Focus On Imaging. Having not been before, I went along with fellow students from Burton College. It's basically a huge trade show of exhibiters and manufacturers of all types of photography products and materials. There was everyone from Adobe to Wacom and more on show.

 
There was plenty more going on too, with plenty of talks to attend, covering all sorts of technique, workflow and equipment use amongst other things. Initially, we wandered around all the stands and looked at various products we'd like to buy but can't afford.
 
After getting something to eat and more wandering around, I went to a talk by photographer Edmond Terakopian. Titled "Aperture 3 for Photojournalists" this was obviously about Apple's latest release of professional photography software. Personally, I'm new to Aperture, but already a big fan, so found this interesting just from the point of view that it's useful software. But it was also interesting to see and hear how Edmond Terakopian works.
 
Our time at the exhibition soon flew by. I could easily have stayed for a few more hours to see what else was on show. I didn't leave empty handed either, as I bought myself a new camera backpack too, a Streetwalker from ThinkTank Photo. It was a good and busy day. I'll certainly be going next year.
