July: photos post

Posted by Patrick Lam on Thursday, August 1, 2024

This month I processed pictures just up to the end of the month. Marginally fewer pictures processed than in June, but I think I took the same number of pictures as I processed, so just treading water here. The number of sets doesn’t tell the whole story, since sets have different numbers of pictures. New sets is 11.

Picture logs still available. As always, pictures are clickable to go to the full gallery.

  • Sets of pictures posted: 20
  • Total pictures posted: 648

Ancient

  • Telemark World Cup, Chamonix, March 2012: I needed a picture of a race. The crappy camera I had back then (Canon PowerShot SX230HS, 12 MP) did manage to get some pictures of races. Also, that was a small set of pictures compared to today, both in terms of number of pictures and picture size.
