Stirling and District Camera Club - Digital Photography Workflow.
A slightly unusual venue for me, but one I really enjoyed. I gave two talks to the Stirling and District Camera Club which, I believe, were quite well received. The first talk covered my philosophy of capturing and organising photographs in a digital system in a way that will scale over time to huge numbers of images. The second talk was an introductory talk on Flickr as may in the audience were unfamiliar with Flickr.
