I have 13,000 + photos in my Lightroom catalog and I am running out of space so it is time to be ruthless.

I am going through my photos from present day backwards and deleting any shot that falls into ANY of the categories below:

1. A crap photo (that’s 12,000 gone straight away)
2. Part of a series (obviously I keep the best one or two)
3. Out of focus (but not if I intended it)

I’ve already deleted about 200 photos from the last week saving over 700 Mb.

I might have a hard drive again soon.

On another note, I have assigned Lucy my 512Mb compact flash card so we know whose photos are whose because she is one talented photographer and we are having trouble telling our shots apart sometimes. We took Jake for a walk and she happily played with the 300D for an hour and a bit. For you purists, it was an official walk as she took a photo of me lying on the ground taking a photo of something.

127/365 – Animated Carol-Singing Animals

Originally uploaded by RXAphotos

Christmas time in my household unfortunately brings with it an over-abundance of animated animals all singing/mooing/bleating Christmas carols.

The photo above shows the great effort the turkey puts into his rendition of jingle bells, with his head swaying left to right at a great rate of knots!

Unfortunately , today’s singing was the limit. I could take no more from that turkey. I grabbed the nearest tinsel I could find and … well see for yourself.

These have all been heard out of my five year old’s mouth this morning.
