Here is another update to Lr2PhotoCart, my Lightroom export plugin for PhotoCart online store.
I added the automatic creation of subgalleries in the update.
You can choose to automatically create subgalleries based on Lightroom metadata. Press the Add Token button to add a token that will be replaced with metadata from the image. If you wish to create nested subgalleries then you can add a / at each subgallery break.

Candace Howard is a Miss Georgia contestant that I did headshots for last spring.
She now has Miss Southwest Georgia 2010 and is going back to Miss Georiga again this year.
She just let me know that she has a new website up using some of the images we shot last spring. Great looking site Candace!

I have been writing plugins for Lightroom for myself for a while now but have not released one to the public until now.
Here is ProSelect to Lr.
This plugin will allow you to import your selection data from ProSelect back into Lightroom. Using it you can quickly get a list of the images you need to process further for orders or apply effects.
I use it when someone needs another person to see the images they narrowed it down to (like grandma). Using it I can quickly select the images they wanted (the selected and/or maybe) and export them in a gallery on the web.
I also use it to add ratings and/or colors to the images based on the ProSelect data.
Using the plugin you can filter by the ProSelect data using the filter bar and edit the data in the metadata panel.

I just downloaded the new Lightroom 3 beta. Have not had much time to test it.
But it looks like my most wanted feature, Network Catalogs, is missing again.
You can download it from Adobe Labs

Canon released a firmware update for the 5d mark II that will allow you to have total manual control over the video!
So you can now get that shallow depth of field without using hacks or tricks to achive it.
I just did some testing and this is going to bring a whole new area to the industry.

PocketWizard just released a new firmware for their new MiniTT1 and TT5. The new firmware includes most support for the Canon 5DmII. I had been waiting on this support to give the new units a try. They will do eTTL and seem to work good after some testing. The range is not that good but I can work with it. The connection meathod beats the RadioPopper, but not being able to control the flash from the camera menu is a bummer.
But the big reason I wanted the PocketWizards is their new Hypersync. It allows you to use studio strobes at a higher shutter speed than you could before.
I tested both a 40D and a 5Dm2 using a MiniTT1 on the camera with the latest firmware. I tried alot of different numbers for the Hypersync offset, but for the test I set it to the minimum of -2500 so I could try to get the most of the shutter out of the image. I used a White Lighting X1600 as the light in the test being fired with a PocketWizard 2Plus.
Here are the results so you can see.
Notice how there is less shutter in the 5Dm2 but the shading at the top of the image is more. After the tests I think you can get to 1/500 with the 5Dm2 and 1/800 (with a touch of shutter) with the 40D.
I am going to go back with the 5Dm2 and change the number to try to get less shading at 500, but thats some trial and error.
Also I tested changing the power on the light to see if it would effect it much (because the flash duration changes with power). But after testing it I don’t think it changes it enough to matter.
I have not see anyone talking about what settings so, if you have any settings that work for you please post them.
