P[hotographic w]ork flow
Flickr. Been using it for years – with periodic hiatus[es] – always worried about losing pictures to sneaky internet thievery – and at the same time wondering how to keep a proper archive of my photos.
Restricted access to Flickr
Well – I can use Flickr without worrying about the first point. Just found out that I can select who from my contacts or the whole universe has access to the see all sizes/download this picture option.
I’d looked for this feature before – last time must have been at least year ago – without finding it. I guess it may be a “new” feature – or just a very well hidden one – as there were so many photographers’ photostreams that I had download rights too.
Time to backup
So now – slowly does it I can backup my entire photographic history to Flickr and get decent off-site cloud based backups. Delicious.
All that’s missing now is to find a plug-in for Bridge/Lightroom/Aperture that will sync changes in my master archive with the Flickr one…
p*orkflow anyone?

I love dafont.com. Looking for a missing font and finding that on the home page. For some things there’s Mastercard.
If that’s not enough to whet your wotsit – have a look at these classy artefacts:

A digital compact to get excited about?
Posted by admin in Photography on February 22nd, 2009
The best [and only!] wide-angle photographer’s compact to come to market in ten years.
Or so it seems. There have been many quality compacts produced since digital imaging came of age. You know those arrogant/insecure youths stutting about showing off their CCDs, talking the talk and trying to walk the walk. Er, I digress. Of these wonders the Canon G series (currently the G10) has been the most notable in terms of being photographer friendly. Until now because because to this photographer light should not be squeezed: nothing has come near the gorgeously wide-angle and fabulously bright optics of the new(-ish) Panasonic Lumix LX3. And those optics are wrapped in a small and functional form. Am I gushing? Oh dear…
f2.0-2.8, 24-60mm
How much?
Somewhere around 450 euros. Not bad.
Who needs an SLR? With this kind of glass – I could lose about two kilos from my camera bag. Let me rephrase: I could lose my two kilo travelling camera bag.

I guess a link to explain Burma Shave is necessary. Tom Waits made me wonder with his song.
Font management on Mac OS X by Linotype

Thanks to guns for for making me aware of FontExplorer in the comment on this thread on how to organize fonts using Font Book over at Mac OS X Hints. FontExplorer looks great; the price certainly is. Must give it a good look when I get a chance.

Need to know sunrise, noon and sunset times?
Posted by admin in Photography on July 22nd, 2008
I looked and I looked and I looked. In the wrong places, obviously. In the end I found a site that calculated the local time of sunrise, noon and sunset. There it goes for posterity.
