MB Air M4... best value for Photoméchanic on location
« on: March 15, 2025, 04:46:51 AM »
Hello

At home I have a BIG desktop PC and NA. In my previous workflow I was coming home with tons of pictures and import them in LR.
On location I had a MBP to find 2 or 3 pictures if the client was impatient to see something, but not much.

Sometimes I spend 8 hours in a stadium shooting Rhythmic Gym for my club, but for 4 or 5 times  2min 30s of real shooting. I have 8 hours to spend... so I was dreaming to begin ingesting and sorting pictures on location with a tiny laptop.
I have a iPad Pro M4, but sadly Photomechanic don't support it...

Lately I have tried the Mac with the base model M4 on Photomechanic and LR and I was shocked how good it is... so I bought the new MB Air M4, base mode.

On location I have an external SSD where I can store my last pictures and my LR catalog, and also a Angelbird CFexpress reader. I need to find a solution to fix both on the back on my screen but that will be easy.

...it's so fast :)

Back at home, I just connect the SSD on my Desktop PC on voila... I can continue working.

By the way, I bought Photomechanic when also buying the Nikon Z8 so I can shoot at 20fps Rhythmic Gym and my club has 280 little gymnasts... so since Septembre I have already shot close to 1 000 000 pictures and it would have not been possible to sort that without a good workflow and Photomechanic.

So thanks everybody! :)

I you want to see a small portion of a busy competition day : [link removed]

Not your place to scold or try to enforce rules that don't exist.  100's of us make our livings photographing youth sporting events and posting the images. By your logic youth leotard catalogs should be kept behind the counter under a brown wrapper.




Wtf dude ! Please don't share online pictures of children ! First you absolutely have no rights whatsoever, two it's very dangerous.
