Do you ever sit on POTN instead of PP??..

[saravrose]

here I am about 75% done with processing roughly a hundred pictures for a job I did yesterday and I'm on POTN.. who else does this?.. Normally I don't avoid PP but for some reason I just don't feel like it right now and would rather be reading about claire's wedding shoot and both of Ron's threads he currently has going.... does anybody get sick of postprocessing? It seems like if there my 'for fun' shoots it's a lot easier.. Okay, thanks for the rant, I am now going to go back to work..:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hmm I really should be going through the 1300 shots I took at the carnival but instead I am replying to this thread :lol: So far I have selected 17 out of approx 130 I have reviewed so far.

Now if You really don't want to PP but post here then how about starting the "homes" thread ;) I know I am early but I got one photo already :D

I'm a master procrastinator. Florida was a month ago and I just ordered the snapshots online a couple days ago. :rolleyes:

Yep...that's why ACTIONS are key! Especially when you have a group of shots that just need some minor tweaks. Actions save time BIG TIME.

Nearly everything I do is an action...and I still procrastinate. I shot my entire vacation in RAW (1100+ shots) so I could batch stuff. I spend little time on my photos, and even less on snapshots. It definitely shows. Ironically, I spent more time setting up, shooting, and processing a photo of a can of beer than any other photo I've taken. And was for no express purpose. But then again that was only 10 minutes... :eek:

I go through spirts where I love post processing and then I don't. I guess I try to get things right the first time so I don't have to sit at the dot-com for hours. Then again, when I do have a crop of great images, there comes a time where I want to sit down at the dot-com for hours and see what I can do with the in CS2. I guess PP is like a relationship...has its ups and downs but at the end of the day, it's all good.

Pretend you are shooting film. Some can't do it. Know your gear, look carefully, think, compose, expose! Shoot slow, shoot few and you can PP real, real fast y'all ... ;)

900 of the 1100+ were from the beach. 'Nuff said. ;)

I've been processing a backlog of images for days now. I have to get them uploaded so I can finish the yearbook by the July 31st deadline. Still, I'd rather be on here even though I need to finish batch processing the photos from graduation night.

I'm not home enough to do my PP... We've been non-stop for the last two weeks!

I know it's bad when we were given tickets to the Sox game this week and I didn't even bring the camera knowing I'm already way behind on PP other stuff! (Which I kicked myself for when we got to the game... we had great seats, which had I taken the camera they would have been nosebleed.)

I'm starting to run out of CF cards... I really need to at least take the time to empty them all into folders.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I went out and found a much slower paralell port CF card reader...

I use looooong downlaod times as an excuse to type on POTN. :)

Think film like Bresson that shot 3 rolls before breakfast every day for 40 years or winograd that died with 350,000 unexposed photographs;) Or maybe Alain Briot that shoots 45 large format shots of the same subject just to see the light change

Oh and they took their time to;)

[condyk]

Nice idea ... shame we all have lives to lead beyond photography ;-) but I get the principle and agree. But maybe they still could have got the shots they are famous for without all the waste. Who knows?

[Sean-Mcr]

Now you see i can't see that as waste Daiid and they sure didn't and to be honest they were not alone not by a long long way

The real secret to their (and others like them) success is that they made it look like it was easy, but it never was. Their waste would have been many a mans dream

That's a bit of a luxury should have got the serial version ;)
