NFD phototrip

Went with NaturFotografer i Danmark to Uldum Kær, a wetland area near Horsens, this morning. Got up at three, was there just after four, when the sky was still reddening. Unfortunately, cloud cover was almost total, and we got no direct sunlight. There were many little lakes with iris, waterlilies, swans etc. While the landscape parts were limited due to lack of light (or fog), there was very little wind and macro was possible. Stayed there for 5 hours. Starting to think of a series about the dandelion.

More postcards, and reuploads

Put out 12 more postcards in Vesterport 3 (the place with Cryos).

Uploaded the right-size images to the webpage, so none should now look too small.

Made two presets on Lightroom export, and noticed a "minimize metadata" button that's probably a good idea for the JPEGs.

Further pics to update on website

Got almost all the 600-pixel images uploaded instead of 800-pixel versions that then get downscaled.  Missing the following, they should either be removed from the series or uploaded in correct size:

0040-9078-gable.jpg
0042-9107-landscape.jpg
0045-9115-landscape.jpg
0049-9272-windmill.jpg
0051-9466-thatched.jpg
0034-4739-leaves.jpg
0037-4808-windows.jpg (edit-2!)
0059-5540-sunset.jpg
0062-7328-ducks.jpg

Also need 600-pixel versions of the old photos.

Some photo trips

Went on a few trips since last post:

Samsø: Forgot my SD-CF card! Bummer, dude! And my backup was the other SD.

Ry: Missed a great picture of a heron at the mill by stopping too fast. Many photos were out-of-focus, even though they were taken with tripod, must take multiples and pick the best. Forests are actually tricky, can't see the forest for the trees. Have better control of aperture and ISO.

Moesgård: Got out too late (an hour before sundown), missed a lot of the good sun - it disappears fast in the forest.

Started passing out postcards last wednesday. Have now covered all obvious mail boxes in the industrial area south of us on the way to Bauhaus (10 postcards). Today did Høreteknik, Ældresagen and IF Erhvervscenter. No responses yet.
