gah, photos finally up
July 1st, 2006 by Lawrence David
it’s a bit late now.
i meant to get a lot done tonight (read: do some research) but instead, i got caught up going through the photos i took while we were abroad.
gawsh, i must’ve brought back about 1500 photos. i axed about a third of them. the remaining two thirds are heading here in a giant batch job as i write this. gah, the process of weeding out photos and organizing the survivors took about 4 hours!
these photos have been such a huge time sink. last night, i spent about 2.5 hours fretting over about 200 of them that had been all underexposed, due to a boneheaded move i made on my camera. (if you ever need to fix the exposure of 200 photos in photoshop, i took notes on how to go about fixing the problem.)
i should try and take less pictures.
in any case, the fruits of my labor can be found at this address.
goodnight moon!
That’s a lot of pictures, but really it’s not the end of the world.
I’m terrible at deleting pictures, but from what I’ve read about getting better at photography, taking more pictures and being willing to discard anything is a good way to work.
As for photoshop, the above only gets harder when it’s possible to salvage photos in post-processing. Not sure what to do about the enormous time sink, but if you’re interested in something less labor-intensive, try Picasa
