Putting Pictures Online

Ok, here’s a quick question:  Has anyone here looked around at any of the other pictures I’ve put up on flickr?

I’m asking for two reasons.  One, I’m actually curious to know if anyone around here has looked at them.  Two, I’ve been thinking about actually paying for an online image hosting service so I can push as many pictures out there as I want.  (flickr, for instance, only displays the last 200 shots on free acounts).

If ya’ll are looking every now and then, I’d push more stuff out there.  If you’re not… well, I probably won’t push pictures quite as often.

On another note, which place looks more interesting to you:

flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/13725832@N06/)

smugmug (http://clazbill.smugmug.com)

  1. The last time i checked Flickr there was very little there. I have not checked since you have added all these. Now tha ti know they are there i will be looking.

    How do you feel about my giving your flickr address to others? not that i have many others i would share with, but i do not see any pictures here that i would not share with the world. (I am pretty closed mouthed about this blog… feel like it is ours… but the pictures are another matter.)

    I have not looked at all… have not commented on all that i had a reaction to. There is a line between reacting and knowing what i want to say.

    Have not checked out smugmug yet.

    I hope you keep your interest in photography.

  2. The rental Macro lens has made this pretty easy as there is a lot of detail to be found in small things around the house. I’m going to try to keep to that daily pace with the normal lens.

    Anyway, the workflow is something like this: Take 20 pictures. Upload, decide 10 of them are worth looking at more (~20 seconds a picture, we’re up to 6 minutes). Decide 3 of those are worth sharing (1 minute a picture, we’re now up to 16 minutes). Spend 5 minutes doing stuff and coming to a final enough version on those 3 shorts. (we’re up to ~30 minutes)

    Then there is the time to annotate/tag/categorize the pictures. Easily adds another 10 minutes to those 3 shorts.

    So, for an original 20 shots, getting 3 of them ‘published’ takes an hour. Naturally, this doesn’t happen every day.

    Goodness forbid we take a weekend trip somewhere with taking pictures in mind. Going through ~300 shots and doing all the processing for final images can day a while.

    If ya’ll are looking at ’em, I’ll keep working at getting things out there. I’d make at least a weekly update. If not… well, I’ll keep shotting but I won’t upload things nearly as often.

  3. Well I enjoy your pictures, but i know it takes alot of time and you do not always have excess time.

  4. as to which place is more interesting, I like the dramatic black background of smugmug, but i like flickr better. I would be happy with either.

  5. going with flickr; cheaper, know some people on there already, and I know how to automate some of the upload stuff already

  6. It’s late and after the fact, but I like having a place to reference your pictures that I feel OK sending total strangers to.

    You have many photos that I want to share with others, and having the flickr option means I dont’t have to decide whether to share the family site, or try to copy pictures into emails.

  7. Feel free to send flickr links to whoever. I’m only uploading stuff that I don’t mind other folks seeing.

    Also, feel free to leave comments on flickr. Feedback is a great thing, and I’m not posting every picture from flickr back to the family site.
