Efter att ha varit ute och tagit macrobilder en kväll nu i veckan, råkade jag stöta i hop med denna underbara solnedgången. Bilder på sol nedgångar brukar vara lättplockade poäng, så lätta att en del seriösa fotografer anser att man ska undvika att plåta dem. Jag undrar bara varför man ska undvika något som de flesta tycker är snyggt?

Jag lovar att detta blir sista bilden på vitsippa (för i år), det löftet blir inte svårt att hålla för nu är de nästan helt borta

Well, I manaded to get a new picture on the blogg. But not quite the way I would have loked to do it: it only appears to be on the blogg, but it is in reality hosted somewhere entirely different. Granted, I own the server the picture is on, but it feels ever so slightly wrong transfering the picture to my server, and then linking to it from inside WordPress.
Ah well, it works at least. But whether or not my uploading problems persist remains to be seen, as does whether or not I will keep on blogging here if I must host the pictures somewhere else.
A long time has passed since I last tried uploading a picture to this blogg, and I feel slightly ill at ease over it. A blogg is meant to attract readers (or in our case viewers) by being updated on a regular basis, and I have failed the viewers on this point.
Yet, I must fail the viewers once again. And probably for a good long time to come. I was out earlier today, taking pictures for the sole purpose of uploading at least one here, and found no problem with transfering the pictures to my laptop, editing the selected picture was a breeze (even if I did end up merging two separate exposures into one). Saving the two-layer XCF as a PNG is a trivial matter with GIMP.
But when the time comes to upload the picture to WordPress, I find myself with a problem I don’t seem to be able to overcome. I have now tried three times, and each time Firefox has crashed. No explanation or error messages, just suddenly not ‘there’… Although I cannot claim to know much about the inner workings of Firefox, I do wonder if the new GUI WordPress has is not to blame for part of this unwanted behaviour.
I guess the new GUI we have to use to upload pictures is meant to be ‘user-friendly’ but for me it turns out to be most unfriendly.
Before anyone tells me to upgrade to the latest Flash, I wish to point out that I did just that before posting my previous entry. As far as I am concerned, I would be better off with a GUI built with only HTML.
