I usually have a keeper rate of 10-50% :>

Much better in my opinion to take multiple photos and pick the best rather than taking one and having the subject not look the best, or to be slightly out of focus / blurry etc.

400 pics in 4 hrs sounds fine to me! I'm assuming you use some kind of software to quickly go through your photos? I use Lightroom personally... love it!

Mmmhmmm, lightroom here as well, as recommended by a buddy. Its pretty good, though in the past Ive simply been using it to convert my raw images into JPG, and sorting through the JPG's to find keepers to resize and upload. X>

I sort through them all when they're raw. I also apply any adjustments and changes to the picture then... once everything has been pruned down and perfected is when I export.

Some people also use the built-in star rating system to quickly categorize pics... I haven't gotten around to using this before. For the 50-200 pictures I commonly take in a single sitting, don't feel like star rating all them is warranted.

Ive never actually fiddled much with changing any photos before, adjusting balances and whatnot. Such a beginner, I dont really know what the settings all do and what changes to make... X> But for this batch, I think Ill have to pick and choose which to export to JPG, I cant really have ALL of them taking up HDD space, not to mention the time required to do all that...

It takes up some time but it gives good results :) and any changes you make to photos etc are all saved when you close lightroom... so you can open it back up and return to what you were doing.

I find that exposure and white balance are some of the most commonly fiddled with settings for me, and can make a terrible picture into a great one... RAW gives so much flexibility at times. A number of other things like contrast, fill light, clarity, vibrance/saturation, and distortion/vignetting settings are also things I putz around with a lot.

That's all? >.>

Youre a goober!

I took half of that in the short time we were at the center! Take your damn purse off and step up your photo taking skills, son!

Am the same. take a lot of photos in a singke go.
Can take over a 1000 photos on a day out if I'm really on a ball.
All taken in RAW.
As for orocessing, I just do basic stuff. Not like post photo processing as then you can destory the original image you saw in the view finder by making the image something different, but thats just me. The skill is the taking the photo, not what you can do afterwards, in post.

I see your method, and it is what i used to do.
Currently, I use what i learned in my class last year to take photos, and photoshop. I take fewer photos within a set, maybe 5-10, maybe 20 or 50, depending on how many days I would be using my Canon. Most photos come out the way i want them, so i'd say there's a 90-80% sucess rate with mine.
