Returning from Africa I was faced with a pretty typical situation for me – a massive pile of photographs to sort through. I have always tended to take a lot of photos while on trips, and Africa proved the rule – and was definitely not the exception.
Last year I discovered Adobe’s Lightroom product and I’ve been very happy with it. I use this program to organize, filter, tag, caption, and even “develop” (modify for better screen presentation) all of the photos that I take.
The problem is, even with this great tool it still takes me a while to get through the whole process.
I guess all of this is to say, I’m working on my photos from Africa and I expect to upload them pretty soon. I’ve already filtered through most of them, tagged all of them, and set up captions etc., The only tasks that I have left are the minor edits to the photo developments and then export smaller versions for web presentation. I will tackle these tasks once I’m back in the Bay Area sitting in front of my desk monitor – I don’t trust my laptop screen as a judge for exposure or color.
So hopefully I’ll have some photos next week.
And now that I’m returning to California I’m expecting to make more regular updates to each of the web sites that I’m keeping these days.
