Playing with tools

[pecunium]

I decided to take a stab at the uploading tool.

I think, on balance, much as I would like to be able to share the shooting data, the benefits of the tool outweigh that loss. It saves me lots of time. I can tag subsets of an upload, load to multiple sets, ab initio and organise things all at once.

Titling is faster, as is commentary.

So, I put 19 new shots up.

Here are a couple.

The Heights





Cupped Wings

"The Heights" has marvelous lighting.

Can I ask what shooting data Flickr doesn't give you? I know if I click on a picture and then click on 'more properties' to the right of the picture it tells me a whole lot of stuff (much of which I don't understand in the least.)

Oh my goodness.

Have I mentioned that I love your photographs? I love your photographs, I really do. Thanks!

great photos, the "Cupped Wings" especially, I am probably just from the wrong area to see this, but I dont recall ever seeing a bird flying with his wings quite like that... very cool

If you go back to the previous page you will see photos which have an extract of that data.

What happens if I upload directly is a list of all of that, double-spaced.

I go through and pull out all the stuff I think extraneous, and leave in more than most people need.

So yes, it's all there, but it used to be right there, where people who didn't notice the, "more data" link could see it.

That is one of the miracles of photogtraphy. The pelican was flapping, and the slice of time I cause was that moment of cupped winds and feathered tips.

Patience, a bit of bracketing and (most telling) a polarising filter, with a northish facing.

Ah. I was just wondering if there was even more technical information I don't understand available that Flickr wasn't providing.

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

No, what the uploader doesn't do is make it easy for me to share it.

What happens is (if you look at those great wodges of tech-data) the list gets cut off at, "Hue 0°". Since the data I share is mostly below that, there's no point in keeping it.

If you want, I can explain what all that stuff is, and why one might care, or not.

You have mentioned this. It's ok, I don't mind a little repetition.
