I love the perspective and differing colours to these pumpkins. My favourite I feel.

Erm, not sure how much help I'll be here but I'll have a go.

I shoot RAW now, mainly because, were I to sell any images I know I can produce any size print people may require due to the fact that i'm shooting to full capacity.

Viewing these is a pain as this can, only, as you know, be via CS.

Now, I am notoriously bad at any form of organisation but have found this to be rather straight forward:

1. Process images as and when I feel, usually through excitement as I go. All images are resized to my desired spec for the site and placed in a folder "images to be posted"

2. When I can be bothered, once posted, I sporadically transfer them into a differing file "posted images"

N.B. these two folders are linked to my itunes thus transferring to my ipod photo. Not lots of use but quite good if you wish a thrid party to have a quick peak, thus giving them an idea of my work, resulting (hopefully) in further interest. Besides, I like my tech and my music follows me wherever I go so the images are always to hand.

3. Yet to be implemented, but, here goes. My photos have a new folder for each day of shooting. I probably have about thirty, some of which have images deleted out as I go, some that need culling. A little time consuming but not too much. Now, you could either transfer these to CD under different categories (still life, B&W etc) or just leave them date only with a few notes as to the key images for each one. I am wondering whether, due to speed whether I should just "zip drive" them. Far quicker. After all, approx 10 discs of data is a little time consuming to transfer. I am also thinking of saving the abridged images with a code (for the website) and giving the RAW file a corresponding code so that you can then find them if so required because if you are anything like me, a hoarder and someone who shoots the same subject eight times, knowing which one you used for the website is a little difficult. This coding system can be placed on the disk and sleeve and hey presto, no problem. In fact, that's it, I feel coding the RAW and the posted image to be a great idea because if after two years you go back to three discs all saying "autumnal shots and berries" you aren't gonna have a clue!

Hope this helps. Clarified it for me.
