Approaching the Scene 205: Save Time Culling Burst Action Photos: A Tip For The Brave

(LINKS BELOW): You’ve had a great day shooting sports, or wildlife. At the end your smile fades as you consider the thousands of frames you need to cull through from the day. Sound familiar. This tip I learned in Costa Rica can cut down that culling time by 60 to 90 percent. Some of you may watch it and think I’m nuts. It felt scary the first time I did it too. However, after a few weeks of practice I’m a complete convert for action and wildlife burst shooting scenarios. Not only does it save me hours of post production, it helps me refine my shooting technique while I’m out creating the images. Cool stuff for those willing to try it.
