Hello Jens, Having done much event work - weddings, sports, etc, I fully understand your issue with lots of images shot and needed processing. What I am hearing you say is that you miss the days when the client was willing to do more of the work that you now do in the digital world. You take the film to the lab, and have the lab crank out reasonable prints and then a quick edit to get rid of what is bad and then hand them off.
I think the amount of work is similar in any medium, just depends on who is doing it. When I was shooting weddings on film my lab would take the time to correct every image (they charged to do that) so I didn't have to. Someone still did that work, it just wasn't me. In the digital world, you could still pay someone to do that type of quick editing of all images shot so you didn't have to do it - just like film. In fact, Larry on the list was just talking about a girl he knows who is looking into doing that type of thing. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 3:31:35 PM, you wrote: J> I do get your point , Paul.
