Processing photos

Everyone who takes enough photos develops a routine for handling them. For me, after downloading, it’s:

  • crop
  • tweak exposure
  • rate 
  • tag / label
  • share to ebird and other locations

At each step, some photos are rejected. I started with over 2200 photos from two weeks in Panama. I’m nearly 1/3 through after 6 to 8 hours. 

Take a look at one example: 

See the bird? How about now?

Unfortunately, this is not a keeper, but I had to get this far to be certain. Also, when considering potential “life birds,” I’ll keep a crappy photo. I’ll have better photos to show you eventually.
