What do you do with your spares?

February 10th, 2011
Soooo.....what do you do with your 'spare' photos? The ones that you didnt pick to be your photo of the day? I have FAR to much times on my hands currently, due to being off work with a slipped disc, and am overflowing with ideas. Consequently I have a load of photos I want to post somewhere.... I use Facebook (Loose Images page if anyone fancies looking) and am thinking of using last years dates on here.....but I'd love to know what everyone else does...

:)

Try Flickr as a great photo hosting site...

i've made a facebook page for my spares (sally cheese's photography, incase anyone wondered)

@sallycheese will check out your page :)

Some go here,some go on my FlickR,only a few go on my Facebook,and most of them just....get burried in my external hard drive.

I created a set on flickr that all photos for 365 go in, even the ones I use here and the ones I considered and opted not to. YOu can see it here http://www.flickr.com/photos/coolgirlsar/sets/72157625696240949/

The ones I take generally are filed on my laptop than double backed up on onto another laptop and memory sticks (paranoid or what?)

With regards to photos taken for 365, I keep a copy of ones uploaded and some that I can't bear to part with - all the rest get deleted!

@pete21 I'm terrible at deleting! They are all backed up on a 1TB harddrive - which is fast filling up. So I have GOT to delete some...

@gill @vikdaddy @coolgirlsar I did have a FlickR account once but deleted it because I heard it was very easy to pinch photos....not that anyone would want to take mine I'm sure!

I have a 365 reject album on here, but am ahead of myself on dates...I assume I can use old dates from before I joined?

@looseimages It's just as easy to steal photos from here. At least the copyright rules are clear on Flickr, so you could argue you'd have better legal grounding on that site.

@vikdaddy ooo will bear that in mind. Thanks

I just created my website and still designing it, planning to put all my spares in there. soon I will be sharing my website and showcase some of my other works. For now it's all in my hdd.

I delete all the shots I don't like and I file the rest. Exactly the same as I did before starting my 365-project.

I put the photos in appropriate folders (day/month/year) and add tags so that I can retrieve them easily if needed. I use Picasa for that. All the digital shots I took since 2004 are filed this way. I look through my old photos quite often :)
February 10th, 2011
they all remain saved on my mac, and the ones i really love are put into my "extras" folder on here....one of the perks of having the Ace membership is more than one album, so i used it!!
February 10th, 2011
most of them reside on my computer, or still on the memory card....the keepers and some others get uploaded to my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazeelife/
if i like the spares, i have ace now so i'll put them in another album, but i've only done that a handful of times....
otherwise i just delete them...

Put it in my weblog.... Lensblur

I've started put mine on flickr and I keep some back in case\I need fillers
February 10th, 2011
I got a photobook made of all my extra shots so far and will probably continue to do this. I think it's a shame to have loads of decent pictures just sitting on the computer doing nothing. I intend to make a book of my 365 at the end too.

@payyourrates like that idea. Who did you use for the printing?
February 10th, 2011
I post a couple on my blog http://jeancarl.com. For places I visit, I post them on my other sites, http://onedaystop.com and http://30daysoftravel.com. Sadly, I still have lots that are left unviewed on external harddrives.

And Facebook. Or I just post them in the other album here :)
February 11th, 2011
same thing as most people it seems. Flickr and Facebook, more of them go on Facebook as I save Flickr for the "best" spares

@looseimages I got my last book printed with Albelli (/www.albelli.co.uk/) but I've heard good things about blurb so I'm gong to try them next time.
