Just when you think you finally understand what’s going on with all this stuff that’s supposed to help you with your work, it manages to surprise you yet again!
So, lesson for today:
Web templates created in Lightroom are not saved with the catalog. Everything else seems to be, but the web templates are located in an obscure file somwhere on the C: drive in Windows. I have no idea where since all my photo files including Lightroom folder are on external hard drive and it never occurred to me (duh!) to think that in their ultimate wisdom, Adobe have spread important files all over the place. Given that my old PC (over two years now, who thought it would last that long??) can’t even load the BIOS anymore, there’s no chance I’ll get those back very soon.
So it will be a while longer until I get to post them on the website.
The photo is not really related to anything above. Taken on Malecon at sunset.
Welcome to this blog
For those of you who are familiar with my website, you’ll notice some changes.
Initial main reason for the change was that I was not happy on how the old version of the site rendered photographs shot in Portrait mode. However, after a few clicks I’ve decided that it was time to reconsider more aspects of the website, and my photography in general.
2009 was a special year for me. Photography wise, it allowed me time to familiarise myself with the work of fantastic photographers, (I’m still amazed when I look at Michael Kenna’s absolutely gorgeous work, and feel continuously inspired by Bruce Percy’s landscapes) to read, to practice but most of all to think a bit more about what I try to say through my photographs.
All these things got me to a point when I had no other choice than to review most of the photographs I’ve taken and re-work them. I’ve looked at some old images and surprisingly enough, some of them have “spoken” to me so I have included them here.
I’ve tried to put them into a more logical order, based on locations where they were shot and I am pretty much happy with how they’ve turned out.
So thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy the images, and feel free to drop me a line.
