Oshkosh Photos

Oh c'mon, you exaggerate. I shot 336 pictures last week, not
2000. :-)

When I was a kid, my dad taught me that if 10% of my pictures are
worth sharing with other people and 3% are worth printing, I'm doing
darned well.

True enough.

The part that kills me about digital photography is the amount of time
it takes to go through and view, enhance and crop them. If it takes
only a minute to do each picture (and I've found it takes longer,
usually), you're looking at over 5 HOURS of time (without a break) on
your computer!

They lied to us when they said that computers would save us time...

They did, indeed. But hearken back a mere 10 years when you could
shoot the same number of pictures in the same amount of time, wait a
week to see them AND pay 9 dollars a roll before you realized you
needed to shoot that last one again. Lessee: about 10 rolls of film at
about $5 a roll plus at least $ for developing is $110. So 7 days and
$110 could get you the same pics, maybe.

Yeah, computers suck but they satisfy that need for immediacy!

Jay,

That would certainly be true if I edited every photo. I only tweak the
few that I will post and, most of the time, I don't tweak at all.

BTW, Nikon Capture NX http://www.capturenx.com/ makes "basic" image
editing very quick and easy. Highly recommended. It's not Photoshop,
you *cannot* paint or smudge or combine images, etc. But it trivially
corrects lighting, exposure, shadows that are too deep, etc.

Art,

I cheat a little. I don't have any idea what operating system you use
but there's a free Power Toy for Windows XP which makes pretty short
work of getting the picture size under control for the web. It's
called, simply, the Image Resizing tool. Install it, select a bunch of
images, right click, choose Resize and then select the size you want
all those pictures to be. A couple minutes later and all you've got to
do is the HTML work!

galleries, too.

I use, and love, Irfanview.

But for quickly and easily making a web page from a bunch of photos,
Porta - a free program - really impressed me.
