Sergei Mutovkin’s Rumbling Mumbling

It is late at night. I’ve just finished processing pictures from the last few photo sessions and some are already in the gallery. It terrifies me to realize that I currently have 44.8Gb of photos. What’s more 33.1Gb is from this year alone. Yes, wedding have contributed a lot to this, but still we are only in August. RAW format that my Canon Digital Rebel XT is creating requires approximately 8Mb per picture and in addition to that to make any picture easily viewable Jpeg should be created. Because of all of this some changes will be coming to the Photo Gallery.

First, all the albums where the number of pictures is too large for a person to see without getting bored (more then 100) will be split in two: Best and Rest. Some of the “Rest” albums I will not make even public. Some I will, depending on what’s inside and how good these leftovers are.

Secondly, I will start tracking which albums don’t get any attention at all and will be hiding them from the public eye. Hence, it is very important if you like the picture to rate it via a simple one-click operation. Just click on the number of stars you believe a picture deserves and your vote will be counted-in.

Third, after the transition to WordPress+Gallery integrated website, I will be regenerating all resized images from current 800×600 to 760×760 pixels, you will notice that resized vertical images will become more visible and 800×600 pictures will fit nicely inside WordPress.
