Ward-Davis wedding

Well, some friends got married this weekend.  Sat Sept 1 was the magic day in Lincoln.

I decided to take my camera along.  Between the wedding and the reception I captured 428 moments on camera.  After culling ones that were out of focus or had technical flaws, ended with about 415.  After that started making selections based on content and narrowed it down to about 85, and those got exported to jpeg and uploaded to Facebook for tagging and commenting.

I must have done something good, because my phone keeps lighting up with likes and comments.

O, and through the whole edit, export and upload process my MacBook Air kicked the fans into super overdrive mode and turned the shell into super hot mode.  So glad we have a lap pad to put it on.

Pool Day

Had some friends and some kiddos over on a hot day for a little chicken on the grill and a pool.

Initial Post

My name is David and I'm a computer programmer by day.

By hobby, I have a Canon DSLR camera my wife picked out years ago.  I enjoy taking pictures, and we discussed coming up with a watermark since it seems that all of the photos we share end up on everyone's facebook feeds, profile shots, or just passed around.

We used to have this great cat we got from the pound.  His name was Schubert, and he responded to it.  We lost him about 3 years ago, but decided to use his name as the inspiration for the name.  Plus, the alliteration isn't too bad either.  And hence SchubyShots was born.

I've read of other people using Blogger/BlogSpot for doing a photo blog, so I thought I'd give it a go.  I also just recently acquired an application that will process images in bulk for resizing and watermarking.   I'll give that a go, get some photos uploaded and see how that goes.
