Too Many Galleries

Sheesh.. I have more Web Galleries than templates these days.... I really need to delete some! And update others! Especially my own. I'm so busy with book writing that it's taking a lot of my time, in fact, nearly all of my spare time. Anyhow I thought you might get a laugh out of my list, especially as there is way more than this available:

Lightroom @ Outdoor Images

David M Knoble has been popping in and out of Lightroom Forums.net recently and a recent answer of his led me to his blog. Wow, what a busy guy. Using recently published figures for wavelengths of the sliders in HSL (from Chris Brandon), David created some Black and White presets that are available for download. Along with those, he also has been a prolific poster about Lightroom over the last few months. Well worth a look.

Panning Timelapse using Lightroom

Santa Ponsa Beach HD Time Lapse from Sean McCormack on Vimeo.

When thinking about possible feature requests for Lightroom, I began thinking about time lapse photography applications. Now I'm far from an expert on this, but I have done more than enough basic time lapse videos to be familiar with it. Generally I've been using either my Canon TC-80N3 intervalometer, or using EOS utility and a Watched folder in Lightroom. When done I do a video sized export (eg 1280X720 for HD) and use Quicktime Pro to generate the actual video using Open Image Sequence.
While I'm happy with these, I've seen much cooler videos online and from my mate Chris Tierney. Chris uses After Effects to do his panning, and to be blunt, it's well beyond what I need or could afford.
While discussing this with fellow Lightroom folks, coder extraordonaire Jeffrey Friedl came up with a script that made use of Lightroom Metadata cropping to achieve what I wanted. Now Jeffrey will be blogging about the script and hosting it shortly. So by way of introduction, I'm showing a recent timelapse video that uses the panning from Jeffrey's script. I'll defer to Jeffrey on instructions, but in the meantime, check out my Santa Ponsa Time Lapse.

NAPP

I've been a follower of Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider blog for a long time. He has lots of good links and great tips. Of course he's doing a lot of sales and marketing through the blog too, but the thing is, it's all useful and valuable. With Scott as head, I've been debating about joining NAPP recently, but have been but off by the high cost of international print members (let's face it, it's almost double that of US readers and this sucks). There's also no international eduction price. Still in the end, I wanted to join, so I opted for the $99 Digital Edition, which uses Zinio for distribution and reading.
So now you'll also find me over on the NAPP forums now, dispensing wit and wisdom (mostly wit!). I threw up a bunch of very quickly chosen images to create a NAPP Portfolio so be sure to check it out. And yes, I'm just a normal, paid up, member.

See you there.

Quick Navigator Tip

Sometimes you trip up over something that's been there for ages: Today was one of them.
I found if I did something in the Version 2, something cool happened, so of course I tried in in V1.41... It worked!

You all probably know this already, but my normal use in the Navigator is to select zooms (occasionally) or move about the image.

So what's the tip?

In Grid View, click and hold on the image in the Navigator. The selected image will jump to Loupe View for as long as you hold down the mouse. On release it goes back to Grid View.

A modifier to this is to Command Click (Control Click on PC) on the Navigator. The image will then open into Loupe View.
