New photos, and how do you manage yours?
// February 16th, 2010 // View Comments // personal, photography
I took my new 70-300mm lens with me to campus today and took a few shots. I wouldn’t say I got any “great” pictures, but I enjoyed messing with my camera for the first time in awhile, and I’m amazed at how highly photograph-able the Lion Shrine seems to be. You can check the set out on Flickr here.
I’m having a hard time figuring out what is upload worthy and what isn’t. It seems to me that the “right” thing to do is only to upload the best shots. That is, here are my top 5 pics of the lion shrine from the 30 different angles I took. My current system is as follows…
- Import all photos into an Aperture project from the camera
- Delete the ones that suck (i.e. didn’t turn out at all, exposure time was too long/short, etc.)
- Rate photos between 1 and 5 stars in Aperture
- Make any necessary adjustments (white balance, levels, etc.) to 4 and 5 star photos
- Upload 4 and 5 star photos to a new Flickr photoset using the Flickr export add-on for Aperture
This approach seems to work relatively well for me. How do you do it?
