Betty LaRue Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If I have a subject, often plants, I might spend parts of several days researching ID in order to tag it properly. Sometimes asking advice from the forum. So occasionally a lot of time is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ah so . . . tagging. Since my motivation in doing stock in my retirement years is to keep me physically and mentally active, I look forward to my tagging time. But then I'm a strange dude, who enjoys washing dishes.

Colblimp Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Tagging takes me hours and hours and I tweak, change, add and take away tags everyday, 7 days a week. I. Hate. Tagging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry for the others, I just want to add these infos and will stop to spam. To shoot panoramas you have to go between Nice and Monaco . Stop to (the high) Eze village and visit the exotic garden (400 m over the Mediterranean sea !) For beautiful walks/treks in autumn/winter go to Esterel massif at the West of Cannes. It's mandatory :). Here an other site for general searches. it would be better with private messages... Perfect! Many thanks Southmind, very nice suggestions and I look forward to trying these. Eze and Esterel hikes were already planned, so definitely doing both.All the Best! (and please keep the good weather for a bit longer!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to Eze, after your visit you can go to Cap-Martin (about 15 km in direction of Monaco) : there is an olive tree about 2000 years old ( use a short lens if possible...) . The weather will be 'bad' this weekend (we had several months without a drop of water) but from monday to thursday it should be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbimages Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I often spend an hour or more....and that's after I've ID'd the subject and check for re-classifications. Sometimes I take a week to get an ID from museums or experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Estall Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 half a dozen well considered well tagged images will beat four dozen slapdash images every time. I think Wim might be exaggerating a little at three hours but his portfolio of 2400 images outperforms just about every other contributor here less haste, more speed as one of my more tiresome teachers used to chant at us.

And those sisters actually should not be here. The 15 minute ones are those with a very simple subject. I tend to stay away from those, most are the result of an older commission or some test. There are in fact lots of contributors that sell more. I'm somewhat in the middle and I'm losing ground. Some of those with better sales have left this building for various reasons. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andremichel Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Think it depends on whether your strategy is quantity or quality. We all make some judgement on the balance between the two. That applies to shooting, processing and keywording. In business, being too perfectionist can be detrimental to the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nice is not nice, I just hope we will not lose Imageplotter , if she goes to nowhere. Nice is very nice!! And all the other places too, especially all the lovely little towns in the mountains. Loved Cap Ferrat as well. The Christmas Market on Place Massena is a bit too big and busy for me, but I did shoot some nice long exposures of the ferris wheel and fountains/reflections. Thanks again for the tops, Southmind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you could take pictures. I hope you did not arrive Friday or Saturday because the weather was really bad ! I read that it was the coldest temperatures for a month of November since 1963. I am waiting to see the pictures of the Ferris wheel and the surrounding villages ! I just have one of the Ferris wheel/fountains years ago : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imageplotter Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Lovely pic Southmind! I took some long exposures of the fountains at night with the ferris wheel, and nearly got soaked because I stood in the middle and then the fountains suddenly started going again after they'd been off for half an our - a close escape :-) Only realised when a service vehicle guy who was doing maintenance on the fountains started waving his arms at me quite frantically. I was there from Monday until yesterday evening, nice, sunny weather except for one cloudy day. I will certainly return. Still dreaming of all the great food, wine, cheese, cakes....Many thanks for your advice again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a top seller . Glad that you had a nice weather for your short trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imageplotter Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Haha. In the summer, I'd be totally fine with that (split the profits? ) , but it was a bit chilly, so I'm glad I stayed dry. I now have to work my way through 64 gb of raw image files.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in addition I offer a coffee after the (your) shower . About Raw files, I am currently testing DxO PhotoLab (the demo version can be fully used during 30 days) and I am impressed by the speed, the quality and the lens corrections .I feel like I changed my lens. I think I am going to invest in this software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
