    Thank you Janine for this excellent breakdown on weeding out images to keep. It is my least favorite task because, as you said, it’s the emotional investment in each one. Also, as a new user to Lightroom these tutorials are excellent. I have the cloud version now but am thinking the local version is much more powerful and maybe I should upgrade to it. 👍

    Thank you Janine, excellent explanation. Always the hardest part to “let go” of images as they are attached with special memories. But in the end very worthwhile doing !

    Love this One . Janine, I really need you stood on my shoulders making me take difficult decisions on what to keep and what to discard. I have 22 terabytes of images and as you probably have guessed from that that i have far too many images that are often quite Samey. I have 9000 images still waiting to be worked on Which I find Daunting. I used to enjoy working on my images in Lightroom but now dread it and seem to be on my computer most days and evenings much to my wife,s annoyance. I really find it difficult throwing away images that are mostly in good focus and well exposed. Doing the present images is bad enough but at least After watching your tutorial I can now try to be more choosey. Looking at my huge back catalogue just fills me with dread, just so much work. It is also very hard looking for a specific older images, ( Nightmare ). I Wish,wish, wish I could afford to have a holiday with your company (especially for birds ), But I fear it's out of my price range, but please keep the Videos coming, I really enjoy them. Thanks to you and the rest of the team, Clive.

    Thank you for your hints and guidance. I have digital images from Africa going back to 2008 (Chobi and Ngorongoro). As you say, very hard to part with, but I will try again to thin them out. When I took slides before 2005 I only kept about 10% of them and still have thousands which I will never view again. We are investigating Pangolin chobi hotel July 21.

    Hi Janine and thanks for this awesome tutorial. After you have rejected your photos do you recommend to delete them as well? If so, do you have a process for that? Thanks again, keep them coming!

  • @stevemossmakes2306
    @stevemossmakes2306 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Janine, excellent tutorial as always. I tend to use the high frame rate of my camera to give me a lot of options for which image to pick and I forget the survey mode a lot. Thanks for the reminder! (New tutorial idea for you, “When soft focus helps tell the story’. :) )

    Survey mode in LR is very helpful finding the right pictures before going too much into detail.

    Hi! I used to shoot everything, very long bursts thinking "well, I will select them later". Let´s be honest. Who has time enough for checking thousands and thousands of images? And then the capacity to select them quickly. I think that I can say that I´ve learnt to be more selective on the field. Not just to press the shutter button but to know if it will be worth to be pressed. I also delete many images while shooting and check them. The result is that I come back home with much less pictures but better ones. I believe people go hectic about buffers capacity. Relax. I set my D500 to limit burst to 50 frames. I have never reached them and I shoot kingfishers and stuff like that. Yes, we all like high specs but thinking about 20fps or more as we are seeing today makes me crazy thinking about how and when would those images be reviewed. My first camera, a bridge digital Kodak, had a nice feature for bursts: you pressed the shutter button and it saved just the last ones once released. When I bought the D90 after that I couldn´t understand why it saved them all in a burst. :D :D I´m very bad to make the decision of which image is better to keep. :)

    Good Walkthrough .The Audio level is little on the lower side. Are you guys using the built in MIC on the CAM/PC? May want to invest in a dedicated mic.

    For decades I was unable to put 35mm slides in the garbage pail, even if they had flaws. Recently, I did a lot of digitizing and had to get real. Spending a full minute to do a slide that was flawed cured me. Still, it didn’t completely cure me, you know... I enjoyed this video, was like great therapy.

    • @PangolinWildlife
      @PangolinWildlife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Edward. Image selection is indeed a tricky process....made harder on slides im sure!

    Amazing how in each video there is always something to learn! Thank you so much!
    By the way, do you know why some photos of the baby elephant were less sharp than others, being a big subject and using a fast shute speed?
    We all apreciate your work.

      @PangolinWildlife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Pedro... as the elephant moves focus might sometimes be slightly off... unfortunately

    I'm not one of those who uses the "spray & pray" approach, so I would hope that my hit rate would be a bit better. I can see that holding the button down with, say, 5fps or more might result in a _lot_ of redundancy (but maybe the keepers should be good!)

    Nope, you don’t need hundreds of pictures of the same subject or scenery, but also, be frank: has any photo ever become famous because of its sharpness? The famous that go around the world tell a story, even if they’re wildly unsharp.
