SmugMug > all-time keyword > birmingham zoo > Zebras make such nice subjects to photograph. I love the lines and the contrast. My photo of the day is basically a straight presentation of the image with minor adjustments. My more colorful interpretation of the same image can be found in the bonus tracks gallery. Today's song is by Greg Laswell, the title is "I'd Be Lying" from the "Three Flights from Alto Nido" album.

SmugMug > all-time keyword > birmingham zoo > Feast or famine, why are there so many days like that for the dailies? Yesterday it was all I could do to come up with one photograph for the daily gallery. Today was a struggle to choose. Opinions vary and personal tastes vary so feel free to disagree with my choice. I put the other contenders in the Birmingham Zoo gallery, partly because it was small and these shots are all from the zoo. This shot is a Monarch butterfly but I assume most of you already know that. One thing I wonder about with the group is the work flow that each of you go through. I wonder if you have any special plug-ins for Photoshop that you think really offer some great assistance and leave more time for shooting and less time working with the images. I started this journey with Photoshop Elements 6.0 to process my images. It seems like such a long time ago now. I was originally shooting in JPG format because I didn’t know any better. It wasn’t long before I discovered the benefit of working with layers and also the benefit of shooting in RAW format. It was around that time that I had processed enough images to begin to establish a workflow. I was reading a lot about workflow in articles but so many of the articles applied to photographers that shot a large number of images on a subject, like maybe a portrait of someone. The articles talked about workflows to create contact sheets, to make the process of adjusting the groups of images more efficient. In that sense, it didn’t apply to the way I was shooting. Eventually, I started to notice a familiar routine as I would import my images into Adobe Bridge, open selected images in Adobe Camera RAW, then move to Photoshop CS3. Once in Photoshop CS3, I had my basic routine of renaming my background layer to protect the original layer, creating a blank layer to overlay the background and use the Custom Shape Tool to decide how I wanted to crop the image. Then I moved on to adjusting sharpness, color, contrast, and balance. I realized that I had a workflow, not in the sense that the articles had described for groups of images, but a definite workflow for the way I handle the processing for individual images. With so many people in this group and so much activity, each day as I am working on my images, I wonder what little things I could learn from each of you if I had the chance to observe your workflow, what new techniques I would discover.
