Me and the Mobile Uploads

Posted by Will | Facebook, Mobile Uploads | Thursday 30 July 2009 10:07 am
Now that I’m into facebook more then I was back back in the day, I also see all the possibilities that it allows for keeping friends and family in the loop about what’s going on in our lives. For some, they like to log in to FB once in a while and just check and see what’s new. For me its more of a daily thing. And with the advent of technology I have the ability to take photos and videos on the spot and have them delivered right away to my profile page.
When I’m out on a shoot with a family or Senior, it’s nice for them to end the day of shooting and go home and relax. As they may log on and check on their family and friends, they are also able to catch a brief recap of the day. If they have family and friends who know they are out on a shoot with me, they could easily log on and catch some images that I have taken. Granted my phone camera isn’t as good as my Nikon D700 but it is pretty decent for what’s available in technology. I run around with a Motorola Q from At&t, with a 2 megapixel camera. I choose this phone for the Windows like operating system that I’m used to and familiar with. My wife, Olga has an “I”phone, which goes well with her macbook and even though her camera phone takes slightly better pictures, I’m pretty happy with all my phone delivers.
So if you see me on a shoot and I whip out my phone, chances are you can log on later and see some of what I shot. Or if you are at home, you can pop on my profile and see where I am and what I’m doing at any given time. Isn’t technology great!

For those of you who are finding the joys of Facebook, connecting with friends, sharing adventures, and just keeping informed, I wanted to let you know you can find me there, too.

http://www.facebook.com/hitchedphotography

This is my profile and just put in a friend request, especially if you are into photography, getting married, already gotten married and I photographed you, maybe you are getting a beach family portrait or Senior portrait, this would be a good idea. It’s a great way to stay in touch with me, even though I check my email daily, I’m also checking facebook daily. There are rare times when an email might get lost, but so far I have not missed a single communication through facebook.

I’ve also been experimenting with mobile uploads, snapping photos with my phone and even capturing video for a fun little mini clip you can enjoy a little later. And of course everything I snap with my phone goes to facebook instantly.

Hitched Photography Facebook Fan Page

If you wanted to become a fan of Hitched Photography, I also have a Hitched Photography Fan Page. From here you can keep up to date on various activities that we do and are involved in. I will also be setting up promos and specials for my Facebook “Fans” that they can take advantage of.

Keeping up with us on Facebook works out to your advantage, where I’m tying in all the photograph galleries into it, my blog as a RSS feed going into my profile, I upload my videos I capture to there for easy viewing, and when I have a photo shoot, I might take 7 days or so to process the images, I usually like to add a few fun, favorite images straight away to facebook.
Well I hope to connect with you online.
