I am not sure what is the most time consuming job of a photographer but I will bet organizing your images are high up the list. I revisit my images a number of times throughout the year and make judgements on what I will keep and what I won’t. For example when I first import my images anything that is not in focus gets deeper sixed as I know of no way of recovering a poorly focused images. As the year goes on I eliminate more and more until at the end of the year I simply dump any image I know I will never use . It is simple, if I don’t like it after a year I will never like it. This is one of those images that I revisited at the end of a year and decided to keep.
This is not a HDR but an image that has the colour slightly boosted.
I am so glad you did!
When I paint, I do the same–and I absolutely abhor the ones that are borderline, because I’d much rather something be good or bad and have done with it.
But when it comes to photographs of people, I feel it is better to err on the side of keeping them, because we all know what time does in our lives.
I use a different criteria for snapshots and my art. Shapshots have to be saved bad art shouldn’t be saved.
I agree with wisserwatercolours … except those photos of me when I was fat! Those can ALL be deep-sixed. Please!
Doreen you were never fat, unless I shot you with an 17 mm lens very, very close. Photographers will understand the rest will go “What?”
