Blog on Photoblogs

I think that we would all agree that our favourite photoblogs (and the most popular) are the ones which are frequently updated by their owners.  The beauty of your photoblog is that it’s a creative outlet – meaning that everything doesn’t need to be polished and perfect before being published.  Leave that to your portfolio site.  Here are a few tips on how to make sure that you’re “pumping out the content”

Don’t leave home without it
It doesn’t matter where you are going; make sure that you have your camera (and at least one memory card) with you at all times.  You’ll be amazed at what you find interesting and all this practice is only going to make your photography better over the long-term.

Streamline your workflow
It won’t make a difference on how often you’re shooting if none of your work ever makes it from your ever increasing storage space.  When I first got started I was guilty of this, my girlfriend would just roll her eyes and leave the room when I hit hour two on a single image.  Be brutal with your workflow, and optimize it any way you can

Be proactive
By this I mean get a few images “queued up” and let your photoblog platform worry about when to post the images.  The benefits associated with this are two-fold, first your regulars know exactly when to expect something new, and you’re not messing around with your photoblog every day.  Do what you do best - take photographs, and let the software handle to details!

That’s it for now, does anyone have any other streamlining tips?
