Digital Resizing



Yesterday proved to be quite productive despite me having vertigo!  After scanning in photos for my husband, I was able to start resizing the European photographic images and got thru most of them.  I only have three more cities to do:  Rome, Florence, and Barcelona, Spain.  What a job that was - I worked on it for probably five or six hours!  I'm resizing them for my website which I haven't updated since the beginning of 2011.  This blog takes some time, imagination, and selection of a photo.  I try to do most of my postings in the morning, but sometimes that doesn't work.  My next step is to upload them to my website, which is another event in itself!  That should take another couple of days and that's just the uploading of the photos.  Then there's the dialogue and the pertinent/historical information that I add to each image.  But I am getting there!

This image is from the isle of Santorini, the town where all the blue domes are that you see on calendars.  I've had several myself.  I thought there would be more of those blue domes than what I saw.  There's really only about 10 if that many.  However, every view is beautiful and I'll post more from Santorini as we go along.  Again, by the time we got to any of our destinations it was already somewhere between 10 a.m. and high Noon.  Not good photography-wise.  But you've got to make the most of it when you do get there.  I guess I don't need to mention that it was so bright up there on top of this island, and then you're dealing with bright white reflections!!  My film black and whites were not so good even after shutting down the lens, but I did get a couple that I might be able to work with.
