Andi,

Great set of photos.

Must have been a massive selection process.
I think I saw you push the shutter 423 times but who is counting

Thanks so much
Al

A bit low on the estimate, Al

Let's try ca. 4,500 times. I downloaded 4,437 photos from my SD and CF cards, but who's counting???? The difference in numbers is that I deleted some photos in camera before getting to my computer....

Still have the instant gallery photos to post.

:cool2:

Andi,
I guessed you were well into the thousands.
So I just saw 1/11th

How do you choose?

Thanks,
Al

Photography workflow

Al - simple, but time-consuming task. I use Aperture to organize my photo libraries, but I suspect I will soon be switching to Lightroom. Projects are organized by day. For each project, the first pass is for rejecting photos that are totally not useable and for marking photos that have some potential (one star). Next pass is to look at similar photos and select the best ones from a particular scene, and to mark ones that meet my criteria for composition, exposure, and sharpness (two stars). Third pass is to retain all the photos that I would be willing to spend time on in post-processing (three stars). Fourth pass is for selecting my top choices (five stars) for immediate post-processing, and marking the next tier (four stars) - ones that will eventually be processed.

As you might imagine, it's a somewhat brutal process, but one that has been made easier for me over the years in knowing how much time it takes to process a photo. For a large photo shoot, I simply do not have time to work on ones that don't make the final cut. My usual retention of photos from a large shoot is 10-20% - time consuming, but manageable.
