It happens every time: you go on a week-long or more holiday, you have a superb time, you take hundreds of pictures to help preserve the wonderful memories, and then you go home. Once the fun is over and you've settled in back home, you now have countless images to rename and organise into the appropriate folders on your computer; you also have to fulfil, in a timely manner, any promises you made to your relatives to provide them with copies. If you're a blogger, there's also the matter of satisfying your followers.
I've been back for a little over a day from our Nottingham trip and I have successfully renamed and organised all of the 1000+ pictures I took on the holiday. I sorted out around a tenth of them last night, and today I spent a combined total of under two hours dealing with the rest. To be fair, I did have an advantage as I had visited Stratford-upon-Avon and Chatsworth House last year and had existing references to go from for them in renaming a portion of the new images, but even for those two parts of the journey there was a plethora of pictures that needed original names.
We are lucky that in today's world we have digital cameras: just fifteen years ago most people were not able to take 1000 images on a trip...and if they did they would have had to carry an extraordinary amount of film, which would have been expensive to then have developed. It may be a lengthy process having to sort through hundreds of pictures on the computer, but it's infinitely more preferable than having to fork out huge sums of money to have someone develop the film.
Now that I've renamed and organised the images of the recent trip and have them available for my relatives, the final step is now to satisfy my blog readers.
