Impressive. I would have thought file management, file archiving and bulk workflows would be less optimal compared to using a desktop or laptop. What's your typical workflow like with a large number of photos from start to finish?
Sports world moves quick unlike a Wedding or an event like that where you have time to edit each pic. My Sports/events goes like this
1) Get everything as right as possible as in composition in camera, you don’t want to straighten & crop a ton of photos
2) As soon as the event is over the SD card goes into my IPad and Lightroom starts uploading while I drive home.
3) If lighting has been pretty consistent then I try to edit one photo fully then copy/paste this edit to every photo.
4) Fun Part, put eyes on every photo, if one has missed focus and it’s not real important then it’s deleted.
5) Everything is exported to the photos app on my IPad and I take a second look.
6) At this point all photos are uploaded into a gallery on my web page and a link is sent to the event coordinator.
7) If Facebook is being nice I will upload the entire album and share it with the director and tag anyone I knew that was there.
I don’t keep copies of anything other that the occasional shot that really grabs my attention as storage is expensive but all my photos do live in galleries on my web site. Lightroom is cleared after each event. In all this work, waiting on the uploads and downloads is the slow part. I need better upload speeds.
When I do shoot NCAA Basketball the flow is a little different as the AD wants 15-20 highlight shots as soon as the game is over. This I struggle with because of the sheer amount of photos a game can produce and picking out and editing 20 shots all before the next game starts is tough. My camera can produce 40 shots a second when I’m trying to get the perfect dunk so you can imagine going through all that. Of course the whole game isn’t shot at 40fps but some of it is.
Anyways, this is a look at how my day goes on a big race or event.
