Photography Travel and Lightroom 5 Asset Management

Photography Op

I had some photography opportunity when I travelled recently and was opportuned to have a change of environment. It was good to see how people did things in their own way following their vision and make all the effort to achieve the ultimate goal one person at a time. Photography is one way of making sure that the nostalgia of the trip is continuous.

I had the opportunity to practice my photography by taking some pictures of people and places using my compact camera and I will post them later.

I did not have the best of luck most of the time because I kept getting a Memory Card Error which will not let me take a picture or look at the ones I have taken but I later found a way around it much later after the trip.

Management

After taking the pictures I really appreciated the power of the Abobe Lightroom 5. It does an excellent work managing the pictures whether it is in JPEG, RAW or when asked to convert it to DNG.

I really think that everyone needs to have a way of managing their photographs so that with the proper keywords and ordering which is faily easy to do in Lightroom, all you need is to type in the event and voila! the pictures are in front of you in all their glory.

Slideshows are the best way to arrange the photographs for viewing purposes. After I select and edit the pictures of interest, I arrange everything the way I want it with intro and outro slides then I export it as a video which is then streamed to the TV with nice tune accompanying the transition within the video.

All in all, I believe the most useful item that affects my photography other than the camera is this software.

I am still editing my shots but it is just to much fun working inside Lightroom 5.
