  • kboy - smashing blog that. Seriously could scoll through those for ages. On that note (if that blog is on tumblr) have you thought about adding infinite scrolling?

    ^ Thank you! Cheered me right up

    It's all in wordpress at the moment, with a hacked theme where I've stripped everything but the necessities out. Been thinking I should make it a tumblr for ages, but never got round to it. Should at least sort a theme with infinite scroll.

    Got another tumblr though, for phone photos: thedailylind.tumblr.com

    Also do you ever write words to accompany the pictures?

    Words come and go. I used to do headers, but have cut back on it due to some kind of less is more attitude to photos. Never been a fan of wordy photo blogs, tbh, so that will prob not happen. Been pondering adding technical data for each shot, but I haven't made my mind up yet. I'd like the idea of the camera being a tool in the background, but on the other hand I've learnt loads about both film and digi photography from other posting film / exif data.

    What camera/ processing techniques are you using? I find sometimes the rig moral of going through processing pictures is the hardest bit sometimes, I love shooting but sitting in front of a computer bores me sometimes as it's my day job too.

    Cameras differ. Just got a X-E1 for digi stuff, so the most recent stuff is with that (france + portraits below). Stuff under the title 'JUNE 16TH, 2013' is with a Contax T2 and film, can't remember which. Also have a Bessa M3A with a 35mm Nokton that doesn't get enough use (It's up for sale actually if anyone's keen).

    Processing is done in Lightroom for digi stuff, and film stuff I just adjust levels in photoshop, try to touch them as little as possible.

    Agree it's hard to find time / energy for it. I spend everyday designing at work, so doing even more image work when I get in can be a struggle. I find mixing digital shots up with film helps though, it's nice to be able to do either anything I want with the photo, or hardly anything at all.

    I've also found that if I procrastinate too long, I will never be arsed sorting out photos and uploading, so I try and do it as soon as I can. That said, all digi processing needs at least one nights sleep before it goes up online. I've changed my mind / regretted an upload far too many times before.

    tl:dr - thanks!
