Google. A bottomless pit of bandwidth and storage space, and quite a few bucks in the bank. Yahoo. Struggling to survive, and resources certainly nowhere near what Google has available. So why is it that Yahoo's Flickr photo hosting service offers unlimited space to users at $25/year, while Google's Picasa caps you at 10GB for $20/year? Something doesn't seem right.

I don’t know how I missed this, but a couple weeks ago, Microsoft released the second major version of their Pro Photo Tools software, which is what I use for geotagging my pictures.

It’s not often these days that I go out for a three and a half hour walk, but I did so this morning.

My dad and I pulled out his old Praktica SLR camera a week ago, for me to use. We’ve tidied it up, but I’ve not actually started using it yet. I want to actually put that camera to good use. I don’t have the manual any more (years of neglect for the poor little booklet have resulted in its untimely demise) and so I don’t even know what particular make this thing is. The best I can do is this picture of it; perhaps someone can tell me the model and some useful info?

Windows Photo Gallery has great metadata support. It supports hierarchical tagging, makes it easy to rename and caption photos, and even allows for adjusting the date and time that a photo was taken. For all this, it rocks, especially if all you have are JPEG images.
