One of the best ways to speed up your photographic workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only shoot JPEG, don’t bother with additional post-processing, and just share\/upload your photos directly!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The benefit of only shooting jpeg is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less lag\/latency\/friction in your photographic workflow. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’m not saying post-processing your photos is bad. If you enjoy processing your photos, by all means go ahead, and spend as much time processing your photos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’ve realized for myself, I prefer to live life, shoot my life, and to share my photos directly. If I have an option, I’d prefer NOT to process my photos. Why? Instead of the time necessary to process my photos, I’d rather be reading a book, spending time with my friends and loved ones, blogging, or shooting new photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My current workflow <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My workflow that I’m experimenting right now is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Shoot JPEG on Ricoh GR II (positive film JPEG setting, contrast and saturation set to max). Often shoot (even during the day) with flash. <\/li>
  2. Import photos to iPad pro with SD card\/lightning adapter. <\/li>
  3. Look through photos, and select photos I like in the default Photos app with the “favorite” function. <\/li>
  4. Upload photos directly to this blog from iPad <\/li>
  5. Upload my favorite photos to Dropbox from iPad <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This has helped speed up my workflow and is simpler, more fun and interesting for myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Post-processing gains are 10-20%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This is what I learned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For myself, the aesthetic gain I obtain from post-processing my photos is only around 10-20% more, but takes a substantial amount of time. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Thus processing my photos (assuming I like the high contrast\/saturation color photos), post-processing my photos isn’t an effective use of my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Figure out how to best maximize your enjoyment in photography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Make the photographic process of photography as fun for you as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For me that seems to mean #jpegonly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Only shoot in-camera JPEG and don’t bother post-processing your photos. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    To me this is fun; almost like shooting film! This is what I like about film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I shoot the film, get the film processed and scanned by a lab, and I don’t do any further post-processing to the photos. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    This keeps photography simple to the max! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Or always another option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shoot RAW, but always use the same filter to post-process your photos. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Never stop experimenting with your photographic process. And to me, it seems simplicity is the ultimate elegance (Leonardo da Vinci). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
