I don't shoot in raw yet or blog, so I don't have that concern. My family does check out my flickr, so in away, it is my blog (thus all the journaling I usually do with each photo ... it's for them and I'll also go back and use it on scrapbook pages). I started out uploading each night and posting to flickr, but have found it easier to just do it first thing in the morning. That way I also get to bed at a decent time! My kids are all teenagers so there is not much for me to do getting them ready for school. So I make sure they are up, grab a cup (or pot) of coffee and head to the computer first thing. Here is my basic workflow:
1. upload to computer
2. name (it saves me time to rename my photos when I upload them ... date, sometimes a key word, person, or event (just depends what they are of), and the file number)
3. I go through them as a slideshow and mark those to delete as well as make note of one for the day
4. delete those marked
5. open favorite in photoshop elements if it needs to be tweeked (soon I'll be getting lightroom)
6. upload to flickr
it sounds like alot, but it really goes quickly. Later I'll go through the photos again for another round of deleting those I really just don't need (I usually take alot of photos).
I've really enjoyed the DD photo a day in 2008 and am looking forward to 2009.
