I had been quite overwhelmed this month after returning to full time work. I’m still in the midst of sorting out my duties and priorities and haven’t been posting as reguarly to this blog for the past few weeks. I intend to go on a new schedule of the max of 3 posts per week. I think that is the max I can do for so far till the school holidays 🙂

Let me do a round up for this month.

Highlights of Feburary

In the month of Feburary we had a series on

Introducing Photography to Kids

I also mentioned about how I deal with my boy’s misbehaviour

Conquring an Angry Child

There were some science websites which I stumbled upon which I listed down as additional resources for parents who were interested in exposing their child to the world of Science.

Science website for kids

Over at the forums I started a new group called Photography for all where by I listed some crafts which you can do with your child in relations to photographs. I will be adding new material as I when I find them.

Storage is a main issue when one is into photography. Each photo can be the size of a few megabytes and if you are taking short video segments with your camera you will find that

before you realise it your 2MB memory card is full.

I try to take pictures of my boys as and when the opportunity arises. Just looking back at the thousands of photos taken these past few years I shudder when I think of the possibility of these memories vaporizing into cyberspace if one fine day my PC decided to die on me.

There are both online and offline storage mediums which can be used.

Offline Mediums

External Hard drives. Last weekend while shopping for a new bag for my laptop I saw that external hard drives now come in 1 TB. (Terabyte ) which is the largest size I have seen so far.

Online Mediums
(Which I have personally tried and enjoyed using_

Flickr
This is a very popular online photo album. It has these features:allows one to upload pictures via the Flickr Uploadr, iPhoto, Aperture, or Windows XP plugins, Flickr upload web page,via email or various free third-party desktop programs
Shutterfly
It has free (unlimited) storage , allows you to create your own website to share your phoots and make your photos in photobooks, cds and other print media.

Besides these two mentioned online photo sharing/storage sites there are countless others which I have not feature here.
