How Should I Organize My Photos?
After a week acclimating to sea level, and work, I’ve begun the enjoyable but tedious task of sorting through the 500+ photos I took from last weeks road trip to Steamboat. I’m curious as to what others do to organize photos.
The first two steps I typically take are pretty straight forward: download all the images onto my external hard-drive and then load them into iPhoto on my Mac. Using iPhoto I can scan through all the images very quickly, deleting those that are junk and noting the others that are keepers. The ones I find worthy, I open in Photoshop for any necessary post-processing, which I really try to limit because this is where hours, days even, can fly right by; time I’d much rather spend outside taking photos! Some of you may ask why I just don’t view and sort in Adobe Bridge. Good question…I do…sometimes. iPhoto just moves faster, that’s all.
Here’s one photograph from the trip, a frigid evening in Steamboat Springs, Colorado – “Ski Town USA”. I placed the camera on the railing of a foot bridge.
