[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 493348, member: 6277"] I just got started with Lightroom recently in preparation for my vacation. We shot everyday for 2 weeks. Normally a morning shoot, and an afternoon shoot. On several days we had late night shoots. A lot of rocks!!! Keywords and [COLOR=#333333]cataloging was very important. I started recently renaming all my files on important. I use the date and number shot that day like this [/COLOR]09-14-15_0004. The last number is sequential starting at 0001 every day. The number is meaningful to me this way. I also keyword the shoot on import with at least 1 keyword like the location. One thing I did on this vacation was to geotag all my photos. With Lightroom it is go easy. I was using GPS4Cam but changed over to GPS tracks during my vacation. These are both iPhone apps. The nice thing about it is that LR makes it so easy. When you get through shooting for the day you stop the app and export it in GPX format to Dropbox. Then in LR you import all your photos as usual. Then select all the photos and go to the map module and load the GPX file and tag the photos. This is what Lightroom shows you. the is the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. [ATTACH=CONFIG]179672._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is a zoomed in look at the last stop on the far right. As you see it breaks it down even more as you zoom in. [ATTACH=CONFIG]179673._xfImport[/ATTACH] With the geotag I can go back after the fact and find all sorts of information on where I was. Also it is great for uploading to Facebook. you can tailor it to whatever size you want and also rename it with custom naming with the EXIF data like this.
