Re: My lightroom workflow

[Brian Walters]

Mine is pretty similar except that I use Zoner Photo Studio for culling
and cataloging instead of Bridge. I export those I want to work on to
Photoshop.  Zoner has some good editing tools but I'm too used to PS to
change.

I have Lightroom 5.7 but, try as I might, I can't warm to it.



Cheers

Brian

Re: My lightroom workflow

[Ken Waller]

Mine is only a little bit less complex - Using bridge I keep what I like, 
perfect my RAW captures in Photoshop and don't print unless I have a 
request.

I don't use Lightroom. I work with Bridge and Photoshop. My workflow is

I also (to a first approximation) don't throw files away, because I've

been)

2: nothing particularly wrong, but not worth looking at (314k)
3: good enough to post on the web (152k)
4: good enough to spend money on a print (3k)
5: My absolute best work (38)

Note that I don't post everything that is a 3 star, nor do I print every 
4 star. I probably have another 50-100 that I should bump up to 5 stars.


workflow, first load the files onto the system with basic keywording, 
before any basic rating.
Import raw files into lightroom (shooting jpeg is like throwing away 
your negatives, and with lightroom and cheap hard drives saves you 
nothing)


I have a directory structure of 6 month top level directories, 
directories for each month, and directories for each logical photo 
session.


/Volumes/photo_c/photo4/pictures_2017a/1701
in 1701 I have
170103_jan_eriksson
170103_power_line
170104_macro_test
170104_tail_lights
170106_covered_bridge
170107_tv_van

Note that each top directory for each shoot is named with the date, and 
some short description. This way in addition to LR cataloging, I also 
have a logical directory structure in case I ever change my photo 
management software.


I may also sort things into subdirectories below that. This makes it 
easier to compare like with like when rating. For example with a band, 
I'll put photos of each band member in a separate directory.


As soon as I enter my photos, I do basic keywording, at some point I'll 
also do facial recognition and try to ID people.


I have an SSD primary drive, and that is where I load my files to 
initially. When I'm all done with my photos from each shoot, they go 
into long term storage in the above calendar directory tree.


Now the bit you were asking about.
I tell lightroom to only show unrated photos. I go quickly through them 
setting any one I might like to 3 stars. When I get to the end, I set 
the rest to two stars. If something is totally trash, I set it to one 
star. If I know right off hand it's amazing I "pick" then set it to 
three stars.

My lightroom workflow

[Larry Colen]

A friend asked about going through 7500 photos from his trip to the UK, 
so I wrote up my workflow for him.  I get teased a lot for treating my 
shutter like film was free, but this is what works for me.  By throwing 
away 550,000 photos, I end up with a hundred good ones.


On the remote chance someone is interested in how I do it and it would 
be helpful to them, here's an outline of my workflow


The premise that for the first several passes quick decisions are better 
than right decisions, so if you can't decide whether something is worth 
keeping, just keep it and move on.


I also (to a first approximation) don't throw files away, because I've 
had my two star files be the best recent photo of a friend who recently 
died.


My nominal rating system is: (total 560k photos in lightroom)
0: unrated (90k)
1: significant technical errors (2600, most could be deleted, many have 
been)

2: nothing particularly wrong, but not worth looking at (314k)
3: good enough to post on the web (152k)
4: good enough to spend money on a print (3k)
5: My absolute best work (38)

Note that I don't post everything that is a 3 star, nor do I print every 
4 star. I probably have another 50-100 that I should bump up to 5 stars.


workflow, first load the files onto the system with basic keywording, 
before any basic rating.
Import raw files into lightroom (shooting jpeg is like throwing away 
your negatives, and with lightroom and cheap hard drives saves you nothing)


I have a directory structure of 6 month top level directories, 
directories for each month, and directories for each logical photo session.


/Volumes/photo_c/photo4/pictures_2017a/1701
in 1701 I have
170103_jan_eriksson
170103_power_line
170104_macro_test
170104_tail_lights
170106_covered_bridge
170107_tv_van

Note that each top directory for each shoot is named with the date, and 
some short description. This way in addition to LR cataloging, I also 
have a logical directory structure in case I ever change my photo 
management software.


I may also sort things into subdirectories below that. This makes it 
easier to compare like with like when rating. For example with a band, 
I'll put photos of each band member in a separate directory.


As soon as I enter my photos, I do basic keywording, at some point I'll 
also do facial recognition and try to ID people.


I have an SSD primary drive, and that is where I load my files to 
initially. When I'm all done with my photos from each shoot, they go 
into long term storage in the above calendar directory tree.


Now the bit you were asking about.
I tell lightroom to only show unrated photos. I go quickly through them 
setting any one I might like to 3 stars. When I get to the end, I set 
the rest to two stars. If something is totally trash, I set it to one 
star. If I know right off hand it's amazing I "pick" then set it to 
three stars.


I tend to do this for all of my directories.

At this point I'll make gross technical adjustments that apply to groups 
of photos, and only rarely tweak specific photos. I'll often do color 
balance at this point, finding something black or silver to set my white 
balance on.


I then go to the end of each directory, and working backwards "pick" 
each one that I think is good enough to look at further.


At that point I start setting up a collection structured, using 
collection sets and collection.


In the collection set 170601_england I will then go through and make 
collections of all of my picked files based on the directory names:


170603_canterbury_00

I then select everything in canerbury_00, unpick it, then starting from 
the front, pick the ones I like the best. those become 
170603_canterbury_01, then from the end canterbury_02, lather, rinse repeat.


Once things get into lightroom collections, and I've narrowed them down 
by 60-80% then I start doing more fine adjusting, cropping, specific 
tweaking of the curves.


At some point, I will often ask someone to go through and rate the 
photos 6 (red/dislike), 7 (yellow/meh), 8 (green/like). Of those I may 
go and over ride some with 9 (blue, I really like even if you don't).
I'll use purple for "special selections" such as "sensei likes this". 
I'll also keyword photos "bill likes" or "bill dislikes", or "don't post 
on facebook".


I will be far less selective for photos on facebook, particularly event 
photos, than for photos on flickr.


From the photos I put on flickr, my absolute best for each month go 
into my monthly picks folder, which goes into my collection of monthly 
favorites, in theory, every one in that collection is rated four stars. 
I tend to average about three or four shots a month that end up in that 
collection.


In short, if I wouldn't be willing to spend $4 for a 12x8 print of 
something, it doesn't get 4 stars. In theory a photo could get that 
rating at any time in the process, but it's generally not until it's 
been posted and moved to my monthly favorites

More news of trouble at Ricoh

This gives more credence to the story that Bipin shared back in April:
http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Ricoh-may-close-shutter-on-personal-camera-business

I have to believe that the Pentax division has made a name (and a
larger market for itself) enough that it would be an attractive target
for SOMEONE to purchase, but I **can't believe** that Pentax could be
looking at yet another transitional period.

Now that Pentax is using so many Sony chips, the company that really
makes sense owning Pentax is Sony, IMHO. 

We'll have to see how this plays out.

Fantastic work Mark.

I've shared many of the images in the past few months, though in most

the posted images were not the final print. All of the photos were made
between February and May of this year - kind of a first for me to come up
with a photo project and see it through to a framed set of prints in a

time.

Four other exhibits are opening at the center on the same day - so this
Sunday's reception should be interesting.

Re: Dos PESOS - "available seating" and "a real page turner"

I like them both - the colors in Available Seating are very pleasing. 
Page Turner is interesting and the more dynamic image of the two - 
though the serrated - or tabbed? - pages quickly commandeered my attention.


Nice finds, both!

Woollen jersey and shorts were much more practical!

Eroica and drone

[Chris Mitchell]

Bob W and I took part in Eroica Britannia - a 55 mile cycle ride where
you have to ride a bike that's at least 30 years old, and dress up in
period gear. A friend of mine met us on the route and took this `drone
footage:
https://youtu.be/MOSYxry9uZI

We look suitably heroic here - it was early on and a nice flat bit of
old railway turned into a cycle route.

Not quite OT as I was carrying my MX over my shoulder.

Re: GESO - Photo Exhibit

[Chris Mitchell]

A great set and I trust the exhibition went well. To me, they're a
modern take on the work of the 18th and 19th century artists who
accompanied the plant collectors and made exquisite paintings.
Fantastic work Mark.

Nice flower but I think it could be a bit brighter.

Fathers day isn't until early September here.  Our baby hatched a couple of 
weeks after it last year so I've had to wait until this year to get one.
