Man With Cock March 30th, 2008

Tags: , ,

Standing around outside our casa in Trinidad, friends pointed out this old gentleman walking up the street. I waited despite their cries for “take a photo”, till he had passed me. He looked as if he had a long, hard life, but was obviously quite happen with his bird in the hand.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cuba. Of course I took my trusty Nikon with me, so over the next few days I will upload a few of the images that I captured. Starting off is this typical street scene of Habana

Using Adobe Lightroom with Flickr Uploader March 5th, 2008

Tags: , , , ,

My everyday laptop runs Ubuntu, however for photo editing, I still use and prefer Photoshop. Now since I’ve gone digital, I’ve gone out an bought Adobe Lightroom. I also use Flickr a lot, so I wanted to work flickr uploader into LightRoom. One trick Adobe missed was having a decent plugin system for Lightroom, hopefully they will reconsider this in subsequent releases, however I suspect they will want to run their own little Flickr clone at some stage.

Anyhow, to get flickr integrated into lightroom, simple do the following

  1. Download and install Flickr Uploader
  2. Copy the desktop shortcut created and paste it to c:\Documents And Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions
  3. Fireup Lightroom
  4. Select a photo, then select export
  5. At the bottom of the export window, in Post Processing, select Flickr Uploader
  6. Your done

Its making my life a lot easier already. Enjoy.

This photo is one of 10,000 from my archive that I am slowly scanning. Fuji Neopan 400. No idea about anything else now

The best (and quickest) $30 I have ever spent February 28th, 2008

I was having a quick conversation with Donnacha about a few things today and I mentioned something about Amazon S3. Which of course led to the inevitable discussion about the recent outage there. So we chatted and he sent me a few mails and a link to Barry’s blog on Wordpress.

What I was interested in was the AWS post, but as I read the comments/trackbacks I noticed a link to http://blog.animoto.com/. The name was cool so I said I would check it out, as I sometimes do still “surf round” from time to time.Alas I got a 404 for the post, but me being curious persisted and I substituted the blog for www and have never been so happy that I did. Animoto is a cooler than cool web service that allows the user to upload photos or point them at their flickr/facebook photos then they select or upload their own mp3 and hey presto a few min later you have a video montage of your photos.
