Like most people, I take a digital camera on my holidays. I really enjoy selecting things to photograph and composing the shots \u00a0– it’s a part of the holiday.\u00a0On our recent month-long trip to Australia & New Zealand, I took almost 1100 photos.<\/p>\n
While on holiday, I try to do some editing as I go along, looking at the day’s pictures in the evening and deleting the obvious duplicates or failures. On our recent trip, I found this continual editing difficult because we were doing so much and moving so often. At home, I was astonished at how many near-identical shots I had of Uluru at sunset and sunrise.<\/p>\n
Once the holiday is over, I upload all the photographs onto my computer. When I have time, I then copy a selection onto my web site and integrate them into my narrative of the holiday. \u00a0For our recent holiday, so far I’ve only put eight pictures on my web site – all of them in fact copies of photos taken of us doing special things. You can check out the page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n But I also do something extra with my holiday photographs – something I find few people do these days. I have them printed out. Then I put around 80% of them in albums. I like to think that this makes the pictures more accessible to family and friends and that, in the future, my descendants will find it easier to look at hard copies.<\/p>\n But, of course, making up albums takes a lot of time and this weekend I have only just begun the process for our latest holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like most people, I take a digital camera on my holidays.
