Other/ (the dump)

Pictures/Film scans/
(duplicate categories)

Images are not exported until they're done. If I might have an idea later or might print it later I save the raw in the appropriate folder (makes it easier to find "i shot this on that right?"). Camera models are implied in filenames to make things easier to find (oh right, I took the olympus to niagra, but was it april or may? so to find where i put the niagra photos in Landscapes/ I'll just search EM5*)

Put your trip back on, cANON. So that's what you use the joy of reflex for, to take closeup pics of leaves.

>implying I can trust your scarlet harengus exif
For all I know a 5D variant produced that picture
>>
>>4303987
i've posted a photo of my z7, a photo of my a7riii when it still worked, a photo of my k1, a photo of the first camera i got when i was about 15, and a photo of my om-2, and yet your paranoia has labeled me as nearly every tripfag on /p/

too bad you can't stop being paranoid and post a photo lol
>>
>>4303989
cANON pls, it's not the first picture of that type you have posted
just admit you got caught and we can forget this ever happened
>>
>>4303938
I put every single photo I’ve ever shot into one folder
>>
>>4304004
Uh, that’s you. cANON is the one with hairy negatives. Get it right.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (that mediocrity can pay to greatness).

No I'm not, I'm the guy with the b&w boatpix.

>Imitation
Now for the reveal

I took that photo to send to my mom
>>
this is how i do it, i only use windows explorer folders, no tags or rating

>bulk photos folder
->[date, location, main subjects) (delete all awful photos)

>good photos folder
->[date, location, main subjects) (copy all good photos here)

>raw photos folder
->[date, location, main subjects) (move all good RAWs here)

>instagram worthy photos
->[date, location] (move best photos into separate set folders)
--> [subject 1] (crop and export to IG quality)
---> post ready
--> [subject 2]
---> post ready

>best photos (only copy very best photos here)
->shill photos (watermarked and lower quality version for self promo)

i don't edit my photos unless they are a salvagble exposure fuck up
i also fucking hate how lightroom sorts imports so this is my method

how bad is it bros?
>>
>>4303938
I just do Year > Event Name, and then also have Q1-Q4 for misc snapshots.
I only browse / view the folders through C1, and just use C1 filtering as needed for searching by date or camera or lens. Switching from individual sessions from a few larger catalogs has been great. All exports go to the Output folder of the relevant session.

[YYYY-MM-DD (event/occasion label)]
-[raws]
-[jpg] (though lately I've just been skipping this and only shooting raw)
-[edited]
--[full size]
--[resize] (for shitstagram or showing my friends on discord or whatever)

Rinse and repeat. It just werks.
