Photography How do you organize your photos
Xernicus posted a topic in Art / Screenshot / PhotoGallery / Signature
I'm wondering what your workflow is when it comes to sorting and naming photos. I used to have a system that worked well, but since it's since been over encumbered not only by the sheer number of photos that I've taken (more than 10x increase this past year 2014-2015), but also when I "made" my system, it was when I was shooting in JPEG. It was never designed to have more than one or (maybe two) versions of a file. Now I end up with at least three files. 1 RAW file (plus sidecar) in my 'Camera Backup' folder- which is current copy of my SD card (copied to HD after shoots) 1 TIFF file which is the processed photo out of Adobe Camera RAW. This is just correcting exposure, color space, etc. 1 TIFF file which contains further editing in Photoshop, such as tonal and curve corrections, cropping, etc. Because I know that I need to get these photos organized (I can't even tell you what I've edited, and what's only been touched by ACR) for the majority of my files), I created a new directory, and am looking to start a framework of folders with locations and dates. So here I have my file fresh out of ACR, then the copy from after I applied some Highlight corrections and an Unsharp Mask, followed by another copy which is with a crop. I don't care whether this photo name is IMG_1234 or "Snap Pea Serenade". But having three versions of a file in one folder is a bit extreme, as is having a nest of directories with the Location, then another folder with the date, and another folder for the "Edited" and "Final" versions... Library software has never been my "thing", after I discovered what a mess it made out of my directories when I was establishing my music collection, but I am willing to give it another go. I have all of the Canon EOS software, including ZoomBrowser and ImageBrowser EX- but I've heard some pretty mixed reports about all of Canon's Utilities. Bridge is something I could consider using, but it's never seemed very intuitive to me. Plus Bridge CC likes to keep crashing on me for whatever reason. Anyways, I'm interested in seeing what you guys do to keep the monster mess of photo editing and cataloging down and under control. I look forward to seeing your solutions!

For high quality night shots, the shutter needs to be set at a slow speed. This allows the camera enough time to let light in to the sensor, without increasing your ISO setting. You need a canon or any DLSR camera On a Canon you turn the top dial to TV. Whereas on some SLR models, like the Nikon D40 for example, shutter priority is displayed as the letter S. If your camera doesn't have TV or S then refer to your camera manual. If you have a tripod handy, set the ISO to the lowest setting your digital SLR camera will go. For example, Canon EOS 400D will go as low as 100 ISO, whereas a Nikon D40 will go to 200. If you don't have a tripod, look for something you can rest your camera on. For example a stone or brick wall. How slow depends on the time of night and how dark it is. There is no set shutter speed to suit every situation. However I've found if you take one photograph at 10 seconds, one at 20 and one at 30. Then view the image on your LCD display and see which one shows the most light. From there you will be able to judge how slow the shutter speed needs to be for the rest of your photo's on that particular night. City lights on top of a hill is the best! lol The mistake many photographers do, is to set their shutter speed too fast. Good photo here 30 sec. on shutter. Digital SLR Camera: Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi DSLR Lens: Canon EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Exposure: 30 sec (30) Aperture: f/7.1 Focal Length: 17mm ISO Speed: 100 Exposure Program: Shutter priority Flash: Flash did not fire Why this night shot worked The ISO was kept to a high image quality 100, while the shutter speed set to a slow 30 seconds. Thanks Elf

Hey everyone, I just thought of something that might just work. A photostory! The idea is that one person posts a picture in which the next person replies with another one. Every photograph will have a one sentence caption with it. Example: [picture] It was a cold and stormy day (second person posts) [picture] The fireplace was on, to drive the bad weather away (or something like that) The goal is to create a massive story, which never ends! Start: As I walked trough the forest, I noticed this unusual bridge.
