thanks Bill - i was just going through and i thought dang - why haven't i posted these before.
jbear, how do you keep track of what you've posted? I don't post anywhere near as many photos as you do, but I still have trouble remembering what I've already used.
I use Smugmug too; do you maybe somehow tag a photo you've linked to?
Curious what methods other folks use as well.
Thanks!
Mark
Hi Mark,
I have a very good memory - which is bad sometimes. I can roll the tape back and "see" some things as clearly as if it just happened. ("when I think back of all the girls I knew in high school - its a wonder i can think at all" - not good when you're living your life and trying to honor your God and your wife - so be careful what you allow into the open doorways of your mind - ears, eyes, tastes, smells, touch - as these things never go away and will auto-replay at the drop of a hat)
Moral lesson over...
Usually i know if i've posted something before... and do it anyway. Out of those last 6 shots i know I've posted one or two of them - but usually, I have just finished editing a batch and I make 72 dpi copies and load them into a private gallery on Smugmug where i just link to them. They are almost always fresh unless I'm posting a repost for a reason.
The private gallery has over 750 images of just aviation and i have 6 or 7 other galleries set up similarly. (sports, people, individual airshows...) If an image is in one of these galleries - i know i've posted it somewhere before and if i go back and get an image - its cause i wanted to and not because i forgot. Kinda like that image of the Red Bull copter at 1/15th with the full disc using the 600mm. Jim mentioned it and even though i knew it had been posted before, i threw it back up on the site. If that's not OK to do - I'll certainly stop. I am like everyone else on this, I prefer fresh images as much as possible... even if they were shot two years ago... there are images from GML that still haven't seen the light of day! 
The front line public galleries on Smugmug are not set to be able to link to for obvious reasons.
On my last series of posts - 1, 4,5,6 are all new. 2, 3 and 7 are older and 2 has never been posted, 3 might have been - or one very similar and I'm reasonably sure #7 was posted before but has since been re-edited. 2,3 & 7 were added as context this time.
I have been accused of posting the same picture over and over and over - which i have never done. I just shoot a lot of images of the same subjects or types of subjects and on any given day, i might like the way the light is hitting a wing and I'll post it - regardless if 50 pages back i posted a shot of the same plane with slightly different light from the same burst series.
Usually if i repost something - its by accident due to selecting images in the small icon view and directly uploading it. But since the watermark doesn't go on - i rarely do it that way.
Clear as mud - huh?
