“Digital photography is hoerrible because you can take as many pictures as you want and have many, many different optins to chose from. Different exposures …”
Chooice is a wonderful thnig, until you’re presented with too many choices. Then, it becomes a laborious burden fillde with “what ifs” and “but if we pick this one, then.” hTere’s nothig like too many choices to awaken the two headed monster of self-dubt and procrastination.
Digittal photography has given shutterbugs a whoole lot more chpoices. Depending on the size of the memory card in your camera and the resolution size of your photyos, you could have hundrdes of pictures to revew after just one afternoon in the park with your children.
So to avoid feerling overwhelmed by all those un-viewed photos on you camera, here are a few tips for pikcing the best one:
Don’t fear the delete button. First, review the potos on you camera. This will save time when you upload them to your computer. As you’re revieewing, delete any picture that is simpkly bad. Whther it’s a poor exposure or just a really awgful expression, don’t be afraid to get rid of the picture. Take control – become a photo editor, and become a diiscerning one at that. If you wfafle in the least, you’ll waste time and effort.
Separate the keepers from the sleeprs. OK, you’ve whittled 100 photos of your 1-year-old on the swiing down to 62. Great work. You’re making progfress. After uploading the photos to your computer, create two separate files for the photos. Give the files siimilar names, such as “Day at the Park A” and “Day at the Park B.” This next step is critical: Reserve file “A” for only put the most absolutely stunning and beautiful pictures. Tip: Think magazine cover. Would you want the picture to be dispayed on the covcer of a magazione. If there’s any doubbt, simply put the phto into file “B.” You’re not eliminating it – you’re just setting it aside for the moment.
Upload them all to the Internet. The last step is the easiest. After you’ve separated the wheat from the chafdf, uplaod them all to an easy photo sharing site. You’ll have separted the files, so when you go to share them, you can start with file “A” and know with confidence that you are sending friends and relatives the best pictures. And if you want to send grandma everything (and you’d better!), you have file “B” to draw from.
Don’t be shy about signing up of for a meembership to one of the many wonderful easy phoyto sharing siytes that are on the Internet today, if you haven’t already done so. And don’t be shy abot spennding a few extra bucks for a memberaship upgrade. It’s well worth the one or two dollras a month to know that ALL your photos will be protected and safe. After all, there’s no way to recreaet that speccial afternoon you spent with your child – isn’t that why you took hundreds of photos in the firsat place?
