I am a Flickr addict now…

I’ve just uploaded some new photos on Flickr.

Since discovering Flickr (and since becoming a Pro member courtesy of Stéphane), I have become an addict. I spend hours everyday creating sets, changing the metadata of existing photos (especially the old ones i.e. those I did on my film camera) and viewing slideshows with awe. I’ve obviously joined some groups and I have started contributing photos and comments. I must be feeling like Christopher Columbus felt just after discovering America…

Flickr is fantastic! Try it!

By the way, I have adopted the following workflow:

• Import all photos from my digital camera to a folder using Image Capture on my MacBook (I simulatenously rename all photos (from IMGxxxx.jpg to YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.jpg) using the free and absolutely great ExifRenamer application),
• Import all the renamed photos to iPhoto and only use film rolls for organisation,
• Delete all crap photos (have no mercy!),
• Beautify what remain (crop, enhance, retouch…),
• Tag the best ones with a specific keyword (I use Flickr),
• Upload those ones using Flickr Uploadr (more precisely the latest beta version as the stable version has stopped working),
• Create a new set or update existing sets on Flickr,
• Announce to the world (my weblog and some family mailing list) that something fantastic has just happened

Phew!
