An interesting article and some great shots, Lorenzo. Recently, I've started to ignore the SD cards I just used and replace the ones from the camera with empty ones for the next shoot. I do, however, download their contents onto my home HDD. Then I start to review the photos I took in the previous shoot - which might have been a couple of days or a week ago? Why? Because I've started to find that I need to leave it a few days before I am sufficiently objective about which are keepers and which can either be discarded altogether or just kept in the HDD for review at some time in the future, if ever. If I start looking at my photos straight after I shot them - or even the day after - I'm too tempted to start post-processing everything. My mind needs to almost forget what I shot to allow it to seem them afresh. the same is true when I'm post-processing. I'll get a photo to where I think it's "done" and leave it for an hour or overnight. Then I'll return with fresh eyes and I'll almost guarantee to see something(s) I need to tweak, even slightly.

We all have our routines and you need to do what's best for you. I've always been in too much of a hurry to see the end result and slowing myself down, quite deliberately, has helped me. I don't do photography professionally. I'm not working to a customer's brief or deadline - so why rush things?
