Just thought I'd drop in to see all the regulars on this tiresome brand-watch. <sigh>

I use a reader because it's much less hassle...also, this from a thought given to me years ago from a 'puter geek, less chance of some weirdity entering my camera *from* the computer.

Hi All:
I will chime in on this subject if I may?
I cover football, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball and soccer. I also shoot (like Tom) for Maxpreps and like to shoot about 300-400 shots per game. Now I am shooting bb and that's what I average. I shoot with a Nikon D4 after the game download to photoshop. Run the batch through Denoise so for two games runs around 6 hours I think. I go to sleep at that point.
Then edit and delete the bad ones.

...that's prolly about what I would do at a football or basketball game, too. I shoot 5fps for stuff like that, it allows me to get "ones" but I can press and get a decent sequence. For wildlife and surfing I usually go 15fps because there are many nuances to wing/wave positions (Z9 "native" is 20, but to me that's a little much). But I could be shooting a band competition of 32-40 groups...I want to get at least 200 keepers per group, alot of the time I get more, but since I process each group independently and shoot alot of portraits. I don't cull (since my D4 days I'm spoiled by very few focus problems...now it's even "worse" lol)...

Thanks. I shoot RAW and cull and edit in Lightroom. About 2K down to 600ish on first cut. Edited about 40 or so and exported 20 to DropBox for delivery to my editor.

...lots of sports guys shoot jpeg and upload right away. I'm like you in my pageantry shots, but since they're about individuals I don't cull and just go through 'em one by one (I've done 10k in a day (but average 6 to 8k), then break it down to the single groups in LR and do each one in order of appearance. Got a pretty good system, and the moms get good product in the end.
When I'm bursting wildlife or surfing, however, you can bet I cull!

Thanks Erich! Be careful with birch, I lucked out on that one the grain was running straight with no marbling...I used a pre-conditioner and it worked out! Shellac...Luster lacquer and a light wax, the outside was painted...

But I wouldn't call the new section "Art".
Also, I would expect a large number of AI generated pix to still show up in the Photo Gallery while these skilled photogs bask in the glory of their remarkable photos.
