TIP #1- Find the favorites.

Sometimes it’s necessary to take multiple shots in order to maximize your chances of getting “the one”.  For instance capturing babies (doing anything) or busy pets. The key to this is to choose your favorites right after shooting. The first thing I do is cull them — deleting any and all images that are blurry, accidental bursts, closed eyes or poorly lit. This helps me spend time editing the photos that are the ones I love the most, and it also helps me feel less overwhelmed when it’s time to choose what images I want to share to social media or print. Once I have narrowed a batch down, put all of my favorites into one folder. (When you press the star button below the photo, it goes into the already-set-up favorites folder). Then, I edit those few which best represent the moment I was trying to capture.

Action steps:

•    Delete the shots that are blurry, accidental, or poorly lit
•    Use the favorites feature to star all the photos you want to edit
•    Delete and favorite as you go to avoid an accumulation of photos
