Do you review and delete unwanted photos from a shoot at camera or after downloaded to computer?

13 years 1 week ago #44418 by Fitch
Personally I have been downloading to computer, then deleting them. I was thinking about doing at camera, but then I might be deleting photos that look better on larger computer screen.

Care to add your 2 cents on this?

I used to delete from the camera, but ran into that exact problem ... was deleting photos that at the least were salvageable or good photos when viewed on the computer. Download all to the computer now.

Depends on the images: if it's a question of 'studio flash didn't fire' or an accidental shutter-release whilst carrying, then I delete in-camera immediately. For everything else I keep it.
Hard drives are cheap.

I keep all of the pix until they are in the computer so I can see them on a bigger screen, the small monitor on the camera sometimes has hidden details I miss until I see them on the computer monitor

I only delete photos out of my camera if for some reason I need the space and the photos really out of focus. Haven't done that in a long time tho now I just carry plenty of e:patriot: extra memory cards. :banana:

I do it both ways. Deleting the obvious crap at the camera

:agree: Also if I know the shot I took was blurry due to the camera not focusing quick enough, then I'll delete that shot.

When I spot a verry blurry shot, a completely over exposed one, or a great shot of my left foot, I will delete it in the camera.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I never ever delete a photo from a memory card. By doing this you can corrupt the integrity of the memory card and potentially cause a card failure.

I will review almost every photo on camera - but I normally toggle between the R, G and B histograms and the photo. After loading to my camera and backing up in 2 places, I format the card on camera - 2 times to delete all files.

I always do my shoot, get home and download all the raw files into a folder on my external hard drive, then I download into lightroom, thats where I flag what I want to keep and delete what I dont, then into photoshop, the files are then stored onto a DVD and into a folder on my computer. once happy I reformatt my card in the camera. :beerbang: :beerbang: :beerbang:

I delete them on the computer because the camera I started with, and therefor got used to doing things with, was so slow in the playback mode it was faster to download then delete. My current camera is faster, but I still do things the same way. I also like seeing them large first.
