Where is the Edisto Island “Boneyard”?
The Edisto Island "boneyard" is located in the Botany Bay Plantation Wildlife Management Area near Charleston, SC. The park was opened to the public in 2008 and is managed by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The boneyard is a maritime forest and is one of the least visited but most photogenic features of the South Carolina coast. It is seldom photographed by the casual photographer because it is about an hour’s drive from Charleston and the directions to the park aren’t prominently posted.
PrintEXIF v4.0 – Automatic Lens ID
I've incorporated automatic lens identification into the latest version of the PrintEXIF script. Previous versions have required either the selection of a Nikon or Canon lens from a drop-down menu or entering a lens description manually. In v4.0 I've taken advantage of the fact that most modern DSLRs write the lens information to the image file's metadata. The user interface now shows the lens ID in the dialog box, if it is available in metadata, and lets the user choose to use that ID or enter the ID manually in a text box.
Fotomoto Artist of the Day – May 15, 2010
I was again featured as Artist of the Day on the Fotomoto website, for my photo "First Sunlight on Sparks Lane". On April 26, my image "Looking Up – Currituck Beach Lighthouse" was featured on the Fotomoto site.
Geocoded Adobe® Lightroom® Web Gallery Plugin – Part 2
In Geocoded Lightroom Web Gallery Plugin – Part 1, I discussed the concept of a geocoded Lightroom plugin for producing Web galleries, outlined what I wanted it to do, and showed the look-and-feel of a prototype design. In Part 2, I’ll discuss the view “under the hood”, detailing how to use GPS EXIF information in a Lightroom Web Gallery plugin. This information is intended for plug-in developers and those intrepid souls who want to understand what lies beneath the surface of a Lightroom gallery engine. It isn’t my intention to make this series of posts a definitive guide to Lightroom gallery engine design or anatomy. Instead, I’d recommend starting with the Lightroom SDK 2.0 Programmers Guide and Lightroom 2 SDK available from Adobe. The Adobe guide is a good starting point, but you can learn even more by dissecting an actual gallery engine, including those that are included in the SDK.
Fotomoto Artist of the Day
I was featured on the Fotomoto website as Artist of the Day on April 26, with my photo of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. I am in the process of converting all of my galleries to use Fotomoto as the order fulfillment service in the next few weeks. The Outer Banks gallery is the first (and the prototype) to be converted.
