Just a quick post (to offset my last ridiculously long post on stitching panoramas with Hugin). I’ve finally posted the photos from my recent trip to Salzburg & Munich. It took a few weeks (spare-time) to cull (from ~400 to 85), caption, tag, geocode, post-process and upload the images.
I’m still using the workflow described in Photography ‘08 (ditching iphoto) with a few minor modifications:
- Re-reading the metadata into Lightroom after geocoding in PictureSync. Otherwise Lightroom is unaware of the geotags and may subsequently overwrite them.
- I’ve also started exporting temp images from Lightroom (which have the ‘develop’ settings applied) as PictureSync seems unable to accurately apply the crops/tone adjustments defined in Lightroom. The temp images are uploaded and deleted.
Enjoy the pics. Also check out Robert’s pictures of the hike.
I’ve had a quiet blogging spell lately due to the general upheaval of changing jobs, countries and continents.
I’ve said goodbye to the consulting world and taken a position working with the gang at dpreview.com as a full-time public-facing web-developer. It’s a huge, popular and well-established site (at 9 years old it can be considered the gray lady of digital photography) recently acquired by amazon. I now find myself working in central London (frequently cursing the tube) with a young and enthusiastic team covering an equally dynamic industry.
Note: I’m retiring my rule regarding blogging about my day-job, mainly because my role has changed (more public development) and I’m keen to get more involved in the development community.
With so much going on in digital photography and the web-savvy nature of our readership, there’s plenty of exciting stuff we can (and will) do. Some of the smaller stuff I’ve been working on has already started to appear on the site, more details to follow.
