I am learning how to efficiently create an online portfolio. The bigger my Lightroom photo database gets the more challenged I am to manage my photo library. I too uploaded the required images to join this group plus some more. However, I have not gotten serious about creating a portfolio here because I have started one on Adobe’s cloud as part of their Photography subscription. It is amazingly easy to populate that portfolio and to make changes. I have a link to that portfolio as part of my profile information here. As in the many activities involved with our daily lives, we have to make chioces as to what to spend time doing. I appreciate the participation of many members at photo.net, people who represent a broad spectrum of experience, not just with photography.

Yesterday I had a photo with a kite in it. I did not think to start a new “Kites” thread, so I searched for “Kite” in titles, chose the lastet one regardless of previous post dates, and uploaded my image.

Drink a Kodak brew while working on a Kodak jigsaw puzzle and reminisce about what Kodak meant to a thirteen year old photographer half a century ago.

My previous comment RE: p400 and precision inks was Incorrect. They DO have refillable cartridges for my printer. Thanks for product name.

Thanks, but only for P600, not P400

Sorry, MarruttUSA, not MaluttUSA. The Epson are UltraChrome colors.

I have an Epson SureColor P400 printer. I am hesitant to use third party inks because, in the past there has always been an issue of one kind or another. Least of which is the impact on printer warranty. But, a set of Epson cartridges for this printer cost about $150 and it is very hard to find any discounted prices on Epson ink. I have always referred to inkjet printers as "Ink Delivery Systems." You can get printers for a song but then you have to feed them ink. I did not think there were any third party cartridge/ink systems usable with the P400, but I stumbled on a site MaluttUSA.com. Has anybody utilized their ink and cartridge products?

I guess the decisive moment was based on instinct. ;)

We cannot overlook the fact Cartier-Bresson was an artist before he ever picked up a camera and after he put it down. As a soldier, a prisoner of war, a French underground fighter, and much more, I am not worthy to judge him. I look at his photos and take away what I can.

Sorry, but I have to add another post to this thread. About 16 min into this YouTube review of Panasonic’s new full frame camera: Hugh Brownstone makes a great plug for micro four third.

“Instinct has a priority on intelligence.” I’m probably not the first to post this YouTube link. If you have not seen it, it’s worth the 49 minute watch:

What an assignment! What pressure! How do you measure success? Twenty months from now? I say it’s a monumental undertaking broken into incremental steps. A photograph that’s more than just a picture. It’s like they are building blocks.

Here’s an idea. DGN (“Digital Negative”) files are more portable than the camera proprietary raw files. I think Adobe’s raw file converter to DGN is free. You can embed your raw file into the DGN if you want to be able to retrieve it, although the file size will be larger with the embedded raw file. I know Windows Explorer supports DGN thumbnails. There are probably free or inexpensive photo editors that support DGN.

My only concern with 3-D photos is the ease to share those photos with others who do not have the equipment or devices to view them. If that was the only photographic technique used, the viewership would be minimal compared to posting 2-D photos on social media, viewing on a 2-D monitor, hanging on a wall, or publishing in a book.

Here’s my delimma. I have a “snapshot” taken of my son and his family, at the beach , and not by me. When they sent it to me, there was another story altogether of life at the beach. It was like a Rockwell painting- a colorful snack bar with a picknic table and several people standing and sitting, all in bathing suits and hats, and the surrounding beach and ocean. I will not post it but you can see it here: Beach by David Rosen
