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.
