ASP Work Flow
Re: ASP Work Flow
depending on the camera you use and the dynamic range you have to cover culling images from HDR sequences can be a very viable strategy. i have a colleague who does lots of 360° panos with HDR.. since Nikon oh-so-cleverly decided that bracketing in 1 EV increments would be enough for their pro-cameras, he always ends up with massive amounts of images, culls every 2nd file to get 2 EV increment series and builds his HDR from those.

Re: ASP Work Flow
My workflow is quite simple.
I have no problems with kaymann's strategy of culling the HDR targets early in the process. Don't see why that is a worse strategy than df is proposing. The important thing is finding a worklow that works for you.
- I copy all new photos to the PC using windows explorer.
- I have a filestructure that looks like this YYYY\YYY-MM\\YY-MM-DD Description. The reason for the repeation of year and month is that on a laptop, I will work on only a subset (eg. 12-01-22 Bla bla).
- Then I go through the phots and add a one star rating to the photos I deem somewhat interesting.
- After that I will set the filter to one star or more. The photos that I find interesting enough now, I will process and give a two star rating. If I feel it is a portfolio candidate, I will bump it to three stars. I will also export it jpeg using two output queues I have defined (forum friendly and flickr).
