I said five day's ago that I would not be posting every day this year and nor will I, but to avoid filling too many HDDs I delete any non-posted images... it hurts but it's a good discipline. I haven't been able to bring myself to delete this one, so, instead of a blank space, it's today's offering.
Fantastic shot - nice contrast and detail. I know about the "deleting" images dilemma - I'm staring at 100 shots of the same jetty but don't want to delete any :-(
Great shot, Richard and fav. I do the same, delete what I do not post. It does hurt, but when I empty the trash on my desktop and it amounts to gigabytes being deleted, I know it's the right thing to do.
I'm shooting with D600 also, so large files. I need to become more organized about deleting also. With 365 sometimes I just process up to three images so think many good photos still to look at later but later comes with zillions more photos. This is worth saving, quite interesting with pink granite
@trinda It gets worse if you go from LR to PS and back again because the resulting TIFF files can be several hundred megabytes each - 2/3 files take up a Gb!
Really cool granite. I like the pink granite very much. I've not seen it in it's natural state. Great textures in the rocks and beautiful, dramatic sky. I guess I should start thinking about deleting stuff, but I usually have family stuff mixed in, but not always!!
I am saving photos for when I return to scrapping. But I need to remove the 10 duplicates I took. Sometimes I need a little distance to hit the delete button. I also struggle weather to hold on to the Raw or save as jpeg or psd. Did you notice how that one rock looks like a pilot whale (or some small whale) breaking the ocean surface.
@joansmor@vignouse@trinda@susanalena I was just thinking last night how I hope starting this project will force me to be more decisive and delete some of the duplicate shots and choose which are worth editing. Otherwise, posting daily will be too time consuming. I paint and have heard several times that in painting the art lies in knowing when to set the paint brush down. Guess there's the same crossover with photography. Especially in regards to edits.
A lovely shot. Thank you. More, thank you for the idea of only keeping what you truly treasure and pruning the rest. I am glad you didn't toss this one, though. It is very pretty.
@kellymansulich Wise words I often rate my down loaded photos and delete the ones that don't make the grade right away and on weekends go back and delete more. Hope you are better at deleting right away.
The lighting and detail is super - a shot well worth posting! And the discipline of selecting photos to keep is one of the hardest parts of photography!
