No Longer On The Scrapheap

This year will mark 8 years since I made the switch from film to digital. From the word go I’ve followed a policy of archiving everything and never deleting. That may see a little unnecessary and possibly overkill but it doesn’t cost much to store and you never know when an old file may prove useful, even if it’s only as an example of what not to do. As I write this, a 2TB hard drive can be had for about US$120 and that’s good for approximately 80 000 RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark II and even more if the files are from an older, lower megapixel camera. By making use of the cataloging and filtering power of Lightroom, it’s quite easy to manage all these images that are scattered throughout multiple drives.

February 2012 Desktop Calendar

February 2012 Desktop Calendar

Another month has rolled around and it’s once again time for a new desktop calendar. This month’s comes from Nepal and what was somewhat of an aborted morning of photography. We’d headed up to Nagarkot on the ridge above the Kathmandu Valley in order to get up and photograph the sunrise over the Himalayas. The Gods of weather weren’t really with us for the sunrise part of things though as a heavy cloud cover moved in and we didn’t get so much as a glimpse of either the sun or the snow-covered mountains. However, once you’ve gotten up before dark on a cold, misty morning and seen your photography plans disappear you’re only left with two choices. Either go back to bed or go for a walk and see what you can see. I took the latter and wandered off around the hillside, finding a narrow trail that led part way down towards a village below. Although the fog was still covering most things up high, there were patches of light shining underneath it briefly and this was the result.

As always, there are a variety of sizes for you to choose from. And below is the same image without the calendar which can be licensed, purchased as a fine art print and shared.

Enter The Dragon – Chinese New Year

Tweet

Worshippers pass under lanterns at Longshan Temple to bring luck at the start of the Chinese lunar new year. 2012 is the year of the dragon, considered the luckiest of the Chinese zodiac (Craig Ferguson)

Across the Chinese world, millions are this week celebrating the lunar new year. 2012 is the year of the dragon, believed to be the most auspicious sign in the Chinese zodiac. The festival marks a time for family reunion, fun, and prays for a successful and prosperous year. Whether it’s China, Taiwan, Singapore or other countries with a large population of Chinese, or smaller communities in countries where they are a minority, both the devout and the layman make pilgrimage to temples to light incense, leave offerings, seek knowledge of their fortunes and chant prayers for the new year.
