Traveled home (Dallas, TX) for the holidays and put all picture posting and processing on pause while I was on vacation. I am back home (California) and have over 500 photos to go through.... ugh!!! there goes my evenings and weekend.
Did you do the same? How are you playing catch up?
on big holidays I usually take a smaller laptop so i can keep track of the photos as I go. Lightroom is great for this so you can rate your images and figure out which ones are your favourites
Still have about 10% of my photos to catch up on from the summer. And they're not good photos either...
My advice, always take good ones that you'll enjoy editing and uploading!
Lightroom. For work, I usually take 200+ per session, and take 3+ sessions a week. Not including shots taken for 365\fun. You get fast at narrowing and editing quickly.
I didn't go on vacation (well not technically). I do however have my days where anything and everything is just too much ( have mental illness). So in a way I vacation often. I do play catch up, but on a different level. I will shoot 2-3 different shots a day when I need to catch up, as far as too many to edit, I have Fast stone viewer. I plug in the camera and can see all my photos from the camera in thumbnail and left key allows me to zoom instantly to 100% to check quality of the one I like. I then take the ones I like off the camera and choose between those few for the ones I will edit and convert from RAW to JPG. The rest never leave the camera and are deleted. Hope this helps.
@rayg86 welcome back! I was wondering where you'd gotten to!
I'm still playing catchup from my july hiatus, but I'm getting there. I try not to upload more than three photos in a row so I don't spam peoples feed.
As for going over them in post, I usually try and take a laptop along with and go over photos from each day in the evening. I can usually pick out the good highlights for uploading, the rest can be gone through at a later date (I still have photos from our US road trip 3,4 years ago that could use a lookover *lol*). I'd say scan through the shots and select a few that grab your attention from each day to start with, then when you have the time you can start going through day by day (it helps if you can separate into folders by day).
