So as you can see, I’ve spent the last month or so doing two things: building up a presence on G+ and probably more important in the long run, really getting into “tinting” or “painting” or whatever you want to call it color images. Gaspow Bridge – Central Park Began as Kodak HIE b&w infrared negative. And this was done very quickly this morning – not a lot of creative imagination compared to some of [more]
Okay – so the first thing I thought of when I got into Google Plus was – maybe this was another audience for my prints, i.e. potential customers. And I have to admit that I did totally go crazy for a few days posting images, and experimenting with various ways of using Picasa online. And I’m very impressed. But then one day as I was dragging people into CIRCLES I noticed that one person who [more]
This is just an example of how easy it is to pull and embed a slideshow from one of my Picasa albums that are now hosted on Google Plus.
There are a couple of ways of posting images to Google Plus – and some are better than others. You can click on any of the images in this post for the full size screen grab. Okay, first off the basics, a reasonable file size is about 1000 px (the longest side). As with any web image, you’ll do best if they’re in sRGB, and so far I’ve just used the old standby, JPG format, [more]
Haven’t been writing in the blog much lately, but you can get a feel for what I’m up to since this is a feed from my Google Plus posts. Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: Powered by FeedBurner
So – if you aren’t signed up for Google Plus – is this link visible to you? I think it should be since I’ve made it “Public” but I’m just curious. It’s about the SPARKS part of Google Plus and what I see as a race to learn how to get listed well in it. https://plus.google.com/116247667398036716276/posts/YrpUUx6SoJ5
http://www.facebook.com/beckermanphoto Yup. That’s what I’m going to do with my facebook page. You can submit a photo to fb.com/dave.beckerman Or email me a link and if I think it’s new and special or old and special or just special – I’ll post it on my page: www.facebook.com/beckermanphoto BTW, it’s not all that easy to find “good” photos on FB. I know that they’re there but I’ve been scanning the photo groups and have only found [more]
I’ve written a lot about SEO (search engine optimization) as it relates to photographers, but never in any consistent way. Photoshelter SEO COOKBOOK for Photographers, as part of a their way of attracting customers, asks you to supply them with your e-mail address and then sends a link to this valuable PDF called Photography Websites: SEO COOKBOOK. And that’s a good deal for one reason – it confirms most of what I’ve personally experienced over [more]
ALL DONE! THIS WENT IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. But if you’re still interested, go to the page below, like it, and I’ll do it again next month sometime. DB Like me on Facebook, and then enter the contest. Rules etc. are on my new Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/beckermanphoto Good luck. Dave
Yep, the big boys are about to slug it out. Google, which is just about ubiquitous with a browser, an Operating System, the top search engine, gmail, scanned books, book store, and frankly, if you were to list all the bits of your world that Google touches it would take more than this post. The only place so far that they haven’t conquered, though I expect that soon, is the social network thing, and my kitchen [more]
