I’ve finally finished uploading all of my photos that I edited since buying the D70 onto Flickr. I also went through my old gallery site and found all the older ones I had in my Favorites group there, re-edited these and uploaded them too. The grand total is 690 photos.
\nIt was a big job to say the least, it was made even bigger by the fact that for a very long time I used the ‘Save for web’ thing on photoshop, what a bad idea! It strips out Exif information which means it messed up the Calendar View<\/a> on Flickr.
\nI previously posted<\/a> about Image::ExifTool<\/a> and again it proved to be invaluable to me. It comes with a command line tool for manipulating Exif data which can be used to copy Exif data from one file to another. Thanks to my strict naming conventions I could fetch original Exif information out of the original JPG or NEF file and copy it to the edited files with a very simple for loop:<\/p>\n

\n
\nfor i in D*jpg\ndo\nexiftool -TagsFromFile ..\/..\/`echo $i|awk '{print toupper($1)}'` $i\ndone\n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Ran that in each directory with Exifless JPG files and it got quickly sorted out, very nice!
\nFlickr provides a number of tools<\/a> for uploading data to it, what they do not provide is a Unix command line tool but I found one in Flickr::Upload<\/a> which worked a charm and made uploading and tagging very very easy.  Other tools and scripts for Flickr can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n$ flickr_upload –tag london –tag ‘”portobello road”‘ –tag animalsp6290618.jpg\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So with this done I’m about to retire my old Gallery<\/a> – it’s already empty of all photos – so anyone who was subscribed to RSS feeds there will need to change.  I’ve created Sets<\/a> that more or less resemble my old Gallery categories, it seems you cannot make RSS feeds for individual sets, this really is a PITA but you can subscribe to tags, so to see all photos of a specific Tag in a RSS reader you can view my list of Tags<\/a> and click the ones you want, there are RSS and Atom links in the generated pages for each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
