Can A (Snow) Leop­ard Change It’s Spots?

Those few hardy souls fol­low­ing my Twit­ter stream must be won­der­ing what’s going on with some bizarre posts. I have been work­ing away with giv­ing my web­site a fresh lick of paint, and test­ing the changes at www.jonathanbourke.ie. It’s com­ing along nicely, but it will be a few weeks yet. The new site, while look­ing sim­i­lar to the exist­ing site, will have a more con­sis­tent struc­ture to it and will greatly ease gallery posting.

In the mean­time, here are some inter­est­ing links I came across:

• How To Get The Best Colour Out Of Your Pho­tos — Life­hacker again comes up with a great guide for pho­tog­ra­phers. This one is heav­ily color focused, and the Pho­to­shop wiz­ardry required.
• How to get (more) space in a news­pa­per — I fol­low the @adrianweckler on Twit­ter, edi­tor of the con­sumer tech sec­tion in the Sun­day Busi­ness Post news­pa­per in Ire­land. He shares some great tips for PR peo­ple (and pho­tog­ra­phers) in this post bemoan­ing the qual­ity of photo’s sent to journalists.
• Light­room Cam­era Cal­i­bra­tion — I spend way too much time on my pho­tog­ra­phy tools, rather than using my pho­tog­ra­phy tools. This post on Cam­era Cal­i­bra­tion in Light­room def­i­nitely falls into the first cat­e­gory, but what the hell, I’ll share this link from Matt Kloskowski anyway.
• What I’d Love to See in Light­room 4 — Damn; and I am only get­ting started on Light­room 3 (and the 3.2 release is nearly upon us, bring­ing with it direct post­ing to Face­book!). Scott Kelby gets the ball rolling with his wish list for Light­room 4, then has to defend it, before oth­ers chime in with their sug­ges­tions.
