Remember those shoeboxes full of photographs waiting to be sorted and stuffed into albums? While this is an idea of the past we’ve got a new problem in the technology driven world. Today, we take more pictures than ever, but what do you do with them? For many people they simply sit on memory cards. While no longer taking up the same physical space, they still are not being utilized. The common reasoning for this is, “I just don’t have the time to sort and upload them.” With the ease of online photo galleries there’s no reason to leave those pictures getting covered in virtual dust!
- Take Fewer Shots. It may seem counterintuitive when it costs almost nothing to take a picture but by taking more time to take very good quality shots you’ll have fewer images to sort through. You don’t have to photograph everything just because you can. Slow down, only take valuable pictures, and you’ll not only have images you want to look at but will have fewer items to deal with later when when you are loading to an online web photo album.
- Sort. As soon as you’re home, go through your pictures. Create a file that’s random images, and then group the rest of them together. All birthday party pictures in one area, all photos from your California vacation in another, etc. If you have duplicate or blurry images delete them. If you have pictures you aren’t sure why you took set them aside.
- Upload. Upload your sorted pictures. The sooner you do it, the sooner it’s done! Now that you’ve taken fewer shots, and sorted out the bad pictures, you have less to upload. Saving you time!
