Photo Editing

[shootingstar]

I take alot of photos. I should be more ruthless--maybe I'll pare down and delete 8% of shots or so. Otherwise it will cost me computer memory-wise! I have looked at some photo blocs months later and pared down even more.

Since I blog, in addition just wanting photos for personal memories I'm taking a broader range of pics. Dearie also uses some of my pics (different ones) for his blogs and other stuff related to cycling advocacy.

In sending a few photos of myself to loved ones by email, yes about 25% of them are me on bike because I'm vacationing somewhere, but more often it's photos of me that has nothing to do with biking --I think that's how they would like to remember/visualize me: they know other facets/expressions of me.

Yesterday I recently submitted a short blog post about self with requested photos of me in action to a popular blog --which means on bike or snowshoeing. After scrolling through thousands of pics (yes) taken on my camera in past 8 months, I found I didn't have many decent ones of me close-up on bike. So after approx. 25 pics by dearie later yesterday, there were 3 good ones. I sent one I liked the most --a rare shot of me, from a distance, cycling against a snowy city skyline/ background. The sunlight was just right..
