This egret was kind enough to pose for a quick photo shoot. I saw him when I went to pick up my son at school. Larger sizes can seen by clicking on the images.

It has been a long time since I’ve posted, having been busy working on two projects bigdiscountprices.com and EbookBrian. I have also been busy updating my gallery, adding new photos, changing and customizing the theme. It is easy to change themes in Gallery 2, as it requires little or no adjustment.
I changed from Carbon Theme to Ebony (which is similiar to Carbon) because Ebony makes it easy to add and view comments. Carbon’s comments tabs are hard to see icons that you definitely have to search for. I have been through almost 5 thousand views with Carbon and not a single comment. That is the only problem I have with this otherwise excellent theme.
I’ve added three new albums: Brian’s Views, Trelawny Athletes Honored and Village United vs Seba (football). For those interested in jamaican track & field personalities, Trelawny Athletes Honored features Veronica Campbell, Omar Brown, Usain Bolt, Michael Frater and Marvin Anderson.

I have started using a new Pixelpost template for my photoblog called Dapper Gray by Pixelita. I have ben busy customizing it, ignoring the advice of my previous post with the resulting headache of having to re-insert codes.
I have tried several templates since using pixelpost. After trying most of those with demos, this was the first I tried that couldn’t be previewed before installation. I loved the interface immediately. It is a little difficult (for a non-coder like me) to customize but I slowly got the hang of it.
The Show/Hide Info is more than what is needed for a photoblog and is broken down into image description, general info (which gives you the name of the previous & next image) and image info (which includes image name, categories, tags and EXIF data).
It is well worth the hassle anyway, as now I am satisfied with the layout of my photoblog.

Going through some old CD Backups, I found some images I took at the Jazz and Blues Festival in Montego Bay, Jamaica on January 15th, 2004. Among them were some of Alicia Keys performing. They were taken with a Canon Powershot G3.
It was just in time for me to test out some Lightroom presets I downloaded. These presets proved very handy as they drastically reduced the time I took to process the images. After using each, I only had to make minor adjustments. These are just a few of the sites from which you may download presets:
85 presets from ONe On ONe Software
Free Lightroom Presets and where to find them
To install, simply go to Develope Module, find the User Presets subfolder; right click and select Import then navigate to the presets folder and choose presets.
The 85 Presets from One On One Software are self-installing, just click on the .exe file.
The full Alicia Keys set can be viewed here
Check out the full photo set.
