Set up LR 4 Preset

I set up a Light Room 4 Preset for exporting images that I want to include in my blog posts. This makes it easy to inset the CF card LR automatically launces and imports into my hard drive and LR catalogue. Then open email and write the post switch back to LR and export with user preset for BlogEmail attach the photo or insert the photo in the email and away we go.

 

With photos

Here is a blog post with a photo from my laptop. Again this is in preparation for the Africa Trip.

Getting Laptop Ready

I am taking my laptop and so I need to set up the email accounts and blogging accounts on the laptop. Here is a post done from the laptop.

Three more days.

Three more days and I will be traveling. Still excited but not apprehensive just getting ready to change gears and immerse myself in the activities of the trip. This post is really just another test of the blogging software and interface. I want to see if I can write a post off line and have it ready to go when I get to a location with Internet service

More to come later.

Will the Storm Sandy interfere with my travel?

The storm Sandy is hitting the east coast and I certainly hope it gets out of my way before I have to fly out on Friday. It looks good so far but you never know when a storm like this might change course and interfere with my flights.

Africa Safari begins Friday

On Friday I begin my Photo Safari trip with Joe and Mary Ann McDonald. See www.hoothollow.com for more information about them. I have my packing done and am ready to shoot and upload to both my http://photos.showmestudios.com site (Travels/Africa gallery) and to this blog at http://blog.showmestudios.com. I have been planning this trip for a year now and it is now about to commence.
