Step 1: You can collaborate on photos only in an existing album. Needless to say that you need to have a Picasa account to begin with. It’s a time saver for both the photographer and the viewer. Instead, you could use Picasa Web Albums and collate all the photos from the trip under a single roof. Terribly obsolete way to collect the pictures I’d say. If you are asking everyone to email you the photos, or you go to them with a USB drive, you know you are doing it wrong. The problem however is collecting those pictures and making sure that you don’t miss a good one owing to your slackly friends. , one hardly needs to worry about having the moments captured. I'm getting better at using my photos, but it does take effort and some forward planning.Many cameras (or phones with cameras rather) around This year I've given all my kids friends a 4 photo collage for their birthdays. I print out a whole load of photos from time to time when shutterfly has a good special and buy the kids a cheap album and let them pick their favourties to fill the album with. I also have a Zenfolio website and I get them printed through that. I've finally printed and framed some photos for my wall. I've made calendars each year for the last 6 years. I use Blurb too, but prefer My Publisher overall. I make books for the children, for a holiday away with friends or for camping trips we've done. Each year I make a book with my favourite 365 photos in it. They have a great Supergloss printing option too. Each week they offer a different special if you join up on their website. I love "My Publisher" and have made loads of books through them. I've had them printed in a variety of ways. I try to either edit or delete any photo I take. I hope you enjoy it and get a lot from the community. It is surprising that I can still find excellent material still hiding. Each year about this time, New Year's house cleaning perhaps, I try to visit most of these directories again. I try to keep those that are "published" organized somewhat with appropriate meta-data key words and Adobe Bridge, but those unprocessed, mostly raw but a few from cell phones, are just sitting in (dated) folders. The obviously bad ones get deleted, but not too many. The rest remain, mostly in raw form, on two backup 5 terabyte drives on my PC. I do some "semi pro" work, mostly associated with my church and diocese, but some with local historical societies, a yearly photo directory and portraits, and historical preservation and restoration of churches, bridges, other architecture in New Jersey. This year, I am thinking about a web site, and no not Facebook or other social media. And of course almost 3,000 now here on 365. Of those, twenty, periodically updated, are in my Best of the Best that I show if people ask to see my stuff. I have a Dropbox file of "the best" (several hundred) that I have digitally on all my electronic devices. The occasional book for my family since i am far from them. There's an interesting reflection on the subject of "too much photography" by Martin Parr: īut he's talking about the casual snapper not the serious 365er, of course. Have also done photobooks for the children etc and calenders. People receive so many digital images that I think taking the trouble to send them something real, personalized and unique can make a nice gift. Occasionally I've made personalized greetings cards for family and friends with real prints. So one of my resolutions for the photographic year ahead is to acquire a good quality printer (recommendations welcome) and take prints from my favourite images. I guess an attraction of 365 is that it does encourage you to look at your images more carefully, pick out the better ones / those with more personal meaning and build up a record.īut I do feel the best images deserve to be released from their digital captivity and given new life as physical prints.
