Do you know a situation like the attached screenshot - you've got a screen full of rather (but not quite!) similar wildlife shots, are wondering however you'll be able to select just one?
I don't machinegun wildlife with 10+ fps, but I usually take more shots than strictly required esp. with f2.8 since my 6d's af system likes to screw up with these. Occasionally and miraculously, most of them are in focus, so I've got more than I bargained for. My steps are:
1. quickly check for total screw-ups in camera
2. with breeze browser: check composition and rate images
3. ditto: check good shots for pixel sharpness (using the embedded preview of the cr2)
4. in lightroom: check for duplicate or very similar shots, leave one of a series
I'd like to improve my speed for step 4, I need way too long for that because I cannot decide. Horse dreaming better than horse looking cute or horse looking interested? Harrrrrgggn....
How do you prune your wildlife series? Use an egg timer and force yourself to select one after the time is up? Stand up and view from a distance? Throw a dice? Ask your girlfriend/wife? ...?
