So Brian's thread on photo storage got me thinking...I usually take 12 or so shots of each aircraft, especially now that I have a fast camera, but when I do that, two or so usually stand out from the rest. I generally store each spotting trip in a folder using Adobe Bridge, and then do the following for each aircraft:
1) Delete any clear rejects (part of the plane cut off, flying past that *&$#$# tree at the Mounds, etc)
2) Batch rename the rest with the aircraft reg
3) Add appropriate tags (I made tags for each type, airline, and airport I've seen)
4) Tag photos I've post-processed as 'edited'
5) I'll probably start messing with stars at some point.
This makes it easy to tell what I've seen before, but it takes forever. Does anyone have any more efficient system? Do you generally keep photos that aren't clear keepers at all?
