Out and about (and a new look)

So I ended up at the Australian International Design Awards the other night for work. I really wonder how they came up with the idea of shooting lasers at a girl covered in mirrors, and dancing in fog. Either way, it was an interesting night.

I found my new garage of cars, including Bumblebee from Transformers, and saw a couple of other interesting designs that night.

To be honest, one of the reasons I'm actually talking about this is because I've changed the layout of my site and have been wondering whether this is the way to go. These images are from my Flickr account and I've been considering whether to go Pro and host all my images there rather than on my (rather expensive) web host. I've been using a combination of Flickr, Picasa, Sendspace and own private hosting to do this, but I think it's about time to get everything into a central location.

With Lightroom 3 adding support for publishing straight out of the box and into Flickr, it's making more sense than what I used to do with exporting to JPG, uploading to Picasa, uploading to Flickr, uploading to my own webspace, and in the case of high-resolution files for clients, re-exporting and uploading to a private file server or Sendspace. It's all a bit redundant and I'd rather be worrying more about shooting.

So, hopefully with this format you'll see a few more images in my blog, with a link out to the full album on Flickr. Let's see how it goes. It seems that I can get this working without even having to link out to Flickr. Interesting. A bit fidgety, but it'll do for now.
