Since photography for me is an elaborate hobby rather than a profession, I've had to focus on other things.<br /><br />I still get the occasional request to make some photos for friends and family, but I've had to be selective about which of those I do in order to guard my time. However, my bother-in-law is getting married, so he asked me to do some engagements and bridals.<br /><br />In the spirit of posting <span style="font-style:italic;">anything</span> on this blog just to get some content out there, here are a few from the last couple sessions with Chase and Taylor.<br /><br />These are Lightroom previews, not final edits, so please judge kindly!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/Clients/Chase-and-Taylor/i-376n4Cp/0/L/20111015TaylorEngage0348-L.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It was from an article on workflow, and discussed a method for naming files. It may not seem like a big deal, but that one thing that took me about 30 seconds to implement has saved me hours and hours.<br /><br />One of the simple features that I love in Lightroom 3 that I think has the potential to create MUCH more time for professional and amateur photographers is the built in Publish Services. While there are several third-party plug ins, the standard plug ins for Facebook, Flickr, and SmugMug are amazing.<br /><br />So here's how I do it...<br /><br />1. Create a Smart Gallery: If you don't already have a category for your gallery, right click on the the SmugMug Publish Service button to create one. Then, right-click on the category and select "Create New Smart Gallery."<br /><br />2. Define which photos will be included. There are several ways to do this using Color Labels, Pick Flags, Keywords, and Star Ratings. Right now I use a combination of Pick Flags and Keywords. So if I want to publish photos in a folder to the Alaska gallery on SmugMug, I make sure the photos have a Pick Flag, and contain both Alaska and SmugMug in the keywords. When I set up the Smart Gallery, I make sure these are the criteria for included photos.<br /><br />3, Select all the appropriate settings for your new SmugMug gallery and click ok.<br /><br />3. The photos will magically appear in the SmugMug Smart Gallery. Now just right click the folder and select "Publish Now." The pictures are automatically uploaded to the SmugMug gallery.<br /><br />The great thing about this process for me is that I use my SmugMug account to link to forums and blogs, and because Lightroom 3 keeps track of any changes I make to my photos, it will tell me if one of the photos in the Smart Galleries has been edited and needs to be re-published. All I do is click Publish again, and it not only updates on SmugMug, but everywhere else that links to SmugMug, including my blog and forums in which I participate.<br /><br />I also love the way I can see my SmugMug folder hierarchy in Lightroom and make changes to SmugMug galleries directly from the software.<br /><br />The same type of process is available for Flickr and SmugMug, although I haven't found a way to make the default "Photostream" folder "Smart" in the Flickr service.<br /><br />The process isn't perfect, but maybe you will find a portion of it helpful.Lincoln Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12045603604995941829noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589627711324049534.post-9453813820855719922010-09-30T11:19:00.005-06:002010-09-30T11:31:42.737-06:00Sunday DriveSunday we took an afternoon drive up to Squaw Peak, which is an overlook that can be accessed by going up Provo Canyon about 1 mile, and then following the signs on the right side of the Road. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0003/1023822477_WeZxp-XL-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 680px;" src="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0003/1023822477_WeZxp-XL-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0022/1023823460_Fetqo-XL-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 680px;" src="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0022/1023823460_Fetqo-XL-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0037/1023823708_tBV9v-XL-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 680px;" src="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/People/Family/Lincoln-BreAna/20100926Sunday-Drive0037/1023823708_tBV9v-XL-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We spent a couple minutes there, and were going to head up to Sundance, but discovered a road that runs the entire length of Timpanogas, from Provo to Hobble Creek Canyon. It's about 15 miles long and suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles only. Given the rough condition of the road, it took us about three hours. However, it was extraordinarily beautiful!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/Places/Utah/20100926Sunday-Drive0063/1023749880_88Wbf-XL-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 680px;" src="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/Places/Utah/20100926Sunday-Drive0063/1023749880_88Wbf-XL-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Lincoln Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12045603604995941829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589627711324049534.post-38569518610892467922010-09-20T12:31:00.002-06:002010-09-20T12:34:42.832-06:00MaintenanceSo, given the advent of the new Publish Services in Lightroom 3, I decided to clean out my SmugMug account and begin managing it with Lightroom. The two days have been spent keywording my catalog and exporting new albums to SmugMug. I love the new features, but the downside is that I have to go through and re-link every post I've ever made to the new photo locations in the SmugMug Albums.<br /><br />If you don't see any pictures, that's why! Hope to be back up and running soon!Lincoln Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12045603604995941829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589627711324049534.post-56435061896263043502010-09-14T22:27:00.002-06:002010-09-29T17:21:04.857-06:00Portrait Project #15#15: Seek an Alternative View<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/Projects/100-Portraits/20100912Rabbitstick0142/1012825152_uQaSt-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;height: 768px;" src="http://lincolnpalmer.smugmug.com/Projects/100-Portraits/20100912Rabbitstick0142/1012825152_uQaSt-XL.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Lincoln Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12045603604995941829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589627711324049534.post-79623571653197169352010-09-10T22:43:00.005-06:002010-09-29T17:22:31.542-06:00PanelThis truck is visible from the I-15 freeway near Willard, UT.
