I packed a Canon S100 and my 1963 LEICA M3 loaded with Kodak TMAX 100. No tripods were used, of course. I did make one shot with my classic Canon SD880, which I brought along for its battery, which is the same as the S100. The SD880 is still a darn good camera. Since Apple Aperture 3 can get better color and sharpness from the Canon S100 shot in CR2 (raw) compared to the S100's own JPGs, and because Aperture makes it so easy and pleasant to work this way, I shot the S100 in CR2 raw and processed it all in Apple Aperture 3. I exported my edited "versions" from Aperture, cataloged and selected the good ones in Phase One Media Pro, formatted each for publication in Photoshop CS5, and then created these pages and uploaded it all in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
