So, I have this Park and Rec end of year Ice Show. There were well over 2400 photos I took. I know, I need to be better at pairing this down before I even take the photo. Part of this is that it is sooo easy to take 3 shots with the Sony a6000. (I leave the motor-drive on because when it is a great jump, it makes for a great 3 or 4 shot board.)
So, after my first pass of the photos, I got it down to about a 3rd. But who wants to go through 900 photos? So, I'm doing a 2nd pass. Might have to do a 3rd pass.
I know part of why this is so hard is that many of these kids are also students of my wife. Also, so many of the little ones were so cute (Yes, I'm a grown man... but I can say "cute" when describing little kids 6 years or younger.) But, that is why I need the multiple pass process. Each pass makes me be more and more critical of the photo's subject, lighting, composition, etc. That makes me remove my own emotional reaction, and judge them on the level of what I would want to bring to the viewer. Believe it or not... not every photo I take is a great shot. So most of them never, ever, ever get released.
Oh, yeah, um... next up is the competition from last Sunday.
Over 6300 photos in that one to comb through.
I guess that was over 8700 photos in one weekend. I'm insane.
Thank God I have the day off from my day job today.
