Photography
A group to discuss the use of Drupal for a photography website
Drupal Media Projects, Tasks and Initiatives
The following are ongoing and/or proposed projects pertaining to Drupal media. Many of these have shared needs for features, documentation, and qualified talent to do the much needed work.
Drupal products, distributions, and installation profiles
Rewriting taxonomy links to point to views pages of image thumbnails
I'm working a photoblog into my personal website using imagefield and imagecache with Views to generate pages of thumbnails depending on the taxonomy term in the url. So, photos of London would look like this: http://gerardmcgarry.com/photo/london whereas the regular taxonomy term look like this: http://gerardmcgarry.com/photo/tags/london

Storing photos with Drupal?
Hi there,
last year about this time I treated myself to a modern digital SLR. Now I am wondering: How do I organize the several 100s of photos that I made. Shouldn't I be able to do that with Drupal?
I envision that I burn several 100 of images to a DVD and that I have a Drupal install with will keep extra info (mainly tags) about the individual images as well as a pointer to the individual images on the DVD and some sort of key for which DVD the image is on.
Has anybody attempted somethign similar?
Drupal Media Sessions
An ongoing series of lessons, sessions, and workshops on Drupal media and arts.
Goals and Objectives
- Showcase how producers and media organizations are leveraging Drupal.
- Bridge the gap between the geek world and the real world (who mostly don't know the world beyond MySpace).
- Demonstrate how artists can leverage new technologies and reach an audience without having to compromise their art.
- Gain a more comprehensive understanding of the modules available and the ways they are being used
- See how producers and media organizations are leveraging Drupal.
Solution for media upload and distribution
Objective
Looking to identify the best web based solution (Drupal or third party) that would allow a content creator to upload and distribute media (video, audio, photos, ...for starters) to external sites and services.
Features
These would vary depending on the specific needs. Could be a combo of Drupal modules, third-party solutions or both.
Upload/ingestion
- Web based service that can embed on any web page
How to achieve slideshow and individual tagging simultaneously
Hi. I'm new to Photography group but I've been using Drupal for over a year now on multiple sites, and I love it. One thing I keep struggling with is how to create good photo albums. I've used CCK, Views and Thickbox, and that works well except it doesn't allow for automatic advancement through the slideshow. I've tried a couple others, but can't seem to get anything else to work well in either Drupal 5 or Drupal 6.
Imageflow
The new module Imageflow looks quite interesting. I'm not sure how exactly to use it on my own site, but it looks cool.

New Module: Image Nodes Now Inherit The EXIF and IPTC Metadata of the Image Uploaded
From the MAQUM (Metadata Aware Quick Upload Module) project page:
MAQUM is short for Metadata Aware Quick Upload Module. MAQUM works with (and relies upon) Drupal's image module to upload images. Instead of uploading an image directly with the image module, upload an image through MAQUM and MAQUM will process your image's metadata and create your image node. ExifTool must be installed on your server as MAQUM requires it to read your images' metadata.
Drupal School: Creating Multiple Maintainable Image Galleries
Elliott Rothman of Drupal School has published a new tutorial explaining how to use views and taxonomies to maintain different galleries on one site: http://www.theartlab.net/drupal-school-creating-multiple-maintainable-im...
Adobe Photoshop Express
Adobe just released Photoshop Express - a free online photo hosting service and editor. It looks really promising; this app really impressed me. It has tons of little features but all presented very well and simple, in my opinion. The application was done in Flex and offers these features that anyone can use for free.
- Photo hosting (2GB)
- Load/Browse photos from Facebook, PhotoBucket, and Picasa (Google)
- Edit photos
- Preview edits in live mode and with scenario example previews
- Make 2D/3D slideshows (that rock!) and even share them (perfect for portfolios and photographers)
- Full-screen mode (awesome!)
- Share photos/galleries
- Rate photos
anyone following the promising image module 6.x-dev issues/patches?
I'm trying to put together a site to display my family's photos... Thousands of them currently on my computer organized in folders by year with subdirectories by month then subdirectories by day... Anyway, has anyone been following the issues/patches for the 6.x dev branch of the images module?
Especially promising for me is the patch to maintain the directory structure and great sub galleries based on the directories. And also the patch to integrate thickbox and pageing.
I can't decide if I should use a drupal 6 with images and those patches!!!
Any thought?
Adding images to taxonomy terms to create fancy custom taxonomy menu
There is a tutorial up at alldrupalthemes explaining how to "create and awesome looking taxonomy menu, using Imagecache, Taxonomy Image, Views, and some SQL."
http://alldrupalthemes.com/blog/6-steps-fancy-custom-taxonomy-menu-term-...
This seems like a good feature to implement in a photo gallery.
Navigating multiple taxonomies
Hi,
I am using CCK, Imagefield and Views to create the galleries on my website, and basing the galleries on terms (taxonomy) with some image-nodes having multiple terms. However setting up a navigation system is proving very difficult for me.
Have anybody here had any luck creating a decent way to navigate multiple taxonomies?
(Detailed description of problem: http://drupal.org/node/192020 , but no answers .. )
Thanks,
Mikkel
Modifying Standard Image Gallery
Hello,
I have set up an image gallery using CCK/Views (and the other modules described in that tutorial) with fair results here:
http://vfamilycoffee.com/gallery
But it leaves me actually wishing that I could just modify the "standard" image content type-based gallery instead, as I like everything about the way it works except for one thing:
- Why, oh why, when you click into an image doesn't it take you to a Pager-type scenario where you can click forward and backward through the other images in that gallery??
Show off your Drupal photo gallery!
I haven't got a photo gallery on Drupal yet but thinking seriously about it (I have some stuff on Flickr ready to move in), however I thought it would be very cool to have a list of all the Drupal photo galleries out there for the people who want to create a new one (like me) or just for the curious.
I decided to reuse Thilo's nicely formatted post about Gallery2 sites for collecting the main data (I hope you don't mind?). Don't forget to go update his post if you are using Gallery2 specifically.
Anybody that did not use Gallery2 for his Drupal photo gallery?
Looking forward to see your artwork!
Cheers,
Marc.
What modules are you using to create your photographic gallery?
Hi guys,
I have been looking through the list of modules many times over, I have found so many modules that can do media, gallery, image ... it is really puzzling.
I read the documentation for most of them, look at examples, read posts ... still I am not close to make a clear and informed decision.
So I am very curious to know what you are using for your photo gallery?
Cheers,
Marc.
Somewhat quiet
This group seems somewhat quiet to say the least. Is anyone actually using drupal to create a photography web site? I have to admit that at the moment I'm not, but I probably will sometime in the future.
