Exercise 4: Editing

For this exercise I decided to take some action photographs of our two grandsons playing in the courtyard of our apartment block. I took over 70 photographs, sometimes using the 'continuous shooting' setting, and then edited them down to my six favourites, from which I chose two as requested.

Nearly - selected 4 Photographs

Observations


Using the editing process suggested in the course material was very useful and really codified the way that I have started to edit my photographs. Using 'flags' and 'stars' within Lightroom to reduce the shots to a manageable number is well worth doing although I must admit to being a bit lazy about this in the past.


As mentioned in the blog for Exercise 1, it has been my practice to Raw - process my 'first select' photographs into jpegs before making the final 'triage' selection and I will continue with this practice as it fits in well with the method outlined in the course notes.
