Basically what the title says. How do you decide what pics to keep and how many?
I have really been growing in my photography the last year or so. I just started using Lightroom, and have gone to shooting fully in RAW.
On my previous trip I was shooting a D70 in RAW and with iPhoto I could do a couple easy adjustments and have decent pictures. On that trip I took about 2500 pics and kept about 800.
Now I am using a D90 and iPhoto was not cutting it. I switched to LR5 and it does wonderful things. I can now make decent-good pics from things that would have been trash before. Problem is time. I took roughly 3000 photos on our recent trip to Bonaire. So far I have tossed 1000 of those but that still leaves me with 2000 photos. With LR it takes me more time per photo then it did with iPhoto. Say it takes me an average of 1 min/photo that leaves me spending ~34 hours working on pics just from this trip.
One thing I have learned is the more I dive the less pics I take, well less different subjects. I have only been diving 2 years now. When we first started diving everything was new and exciting so I wanted to "record" it all. Now I find it easier to get rid of pics unless they are "great" shots if they are things I already have pics of.
So I am basically curious how others deal with this. On another thread I was reading the poster stated he took 10,000 shots on a trip.
