Camera-to-blog

My camera-to-blog procedure of late has changed quite drastically from what I followed last year. Last year I would take my camera out every time I leave the house (I still do that part), and take hundreds of photos. Then, when I get home, I download them to my computer, and sometime within the next two to three days I would prepare them in Photoshop, upload them to the gallery, and post my favorites from that batch to the top page of the Bastish net.

This fell apart when I started learning more about Photoshop and, for better or worse, became more experimental with it. To save myself time, I began preparing and posting large batches of photos to my gallery, and each day selecting a few that seem to fit a certain theme. This saves me from having to process so many photos each week in order to keep a semi-daily posting schedule.

I have now run into two new problems.

1) I still take the same number of photos, but processing them less often has lead to an enormous back-log. I don't expect the photos I took yesterday to appear on the top page here for another three weeks or so.

2) If I try to post on my top page according to themes (often pretty lame themes), there are inevitably some photos I like that don't fit into any theme, and will miss their chance to be seen.

Today's post is a clean-up post. These photos are all photos I liked for one reason or another, yet didn't have the imagination or ambition to think up a theme for. They're the leftovers.

This is an exciting time for me... it means that tomorrow I can upload a new batch of photos (from a few weeks ago).
