Denise & I have been working on
pictures from all GADA events during the last few months, as we had intended on
getting things on our site within two weeks but this did not happen due to many
reasons:
1) We did not have the correct software
to speed things up and were having to do everything in a very long way round.
(We have now purchased some software to help us & are learning to use it.)
2) We only had 10mb of webspace with our
old ISP, this was not enough for us to have the
presence we wanted on the web. (We have now purchased 800mb of webspace to
solve this problem.)
3) Denise & I have to sort through
over 1,000 photos taken at an average GADA event, 4,000 6,000 at the major
ones. (We only publish a small selection of the pictures on the web.)
4) Not being a professional photographer
and being over critical about my photos, I had purchased a new camera at the
beginning of 2005 & another new one early in 2006. (These cameras are both
slightly different to operate & have given me a few challenges with regards
to using them with flashes, in not perfect lighting conditions, as I do not
have the chance to practice with them on a regular basis at the venues we
use.)(I intend on purchasing another camera in the next couple of years but
with a price tag of over £3,500 for the camera and a lens to start me off, it
is out of the question at the moment.)
5) We are awaiting arrival of a software
programme called FotoPak, which cost £350. It will help us
put all the photos which we deem suitable from any event, especially the
Yorkshire Guernsey International Dancesport Festivals, onto CD, in a format to
be viewed without the need of an internet link, as it is not feasible to
publish all the thousands of pictures taken, on the internet. (You would take
days to view them all normally but it would not be fair to people who still
have a dial up link as it would cost them a fortune to view them.) This
programme also provides an order form facility. This is what many competitors
use to choose & purchase prints of themselves
competing in competitions.
We will be working on a News Letter
in the near future.
