In between lessons have gone through and counted out most of the rest of the images and leaving just the ones that I want to work on remaining in this catalog. So now it's time to go back through again and with the critical eye test delayed others that might not be in the same series but as strong as the ones that you've got. Now coming into the series of four I don't want to keep four of these images are not strong enough. So I'll bring it back down to just those two Finnair. A guy carrying with chicken wasn't a great shot so we can reject that. And the fish you can see I've edited down from quite a few of the images by head just to these remaining ones.
To look again the ones with these two here ones, vertical ones. Horizontal but pretty similar, the horizontal wasn't as strong. I always have a lot better grid view and I'll flip that one around so it can be easier to compare. So just selecting the four of them again to put four verticals and arise side by side. Just keep them those for now because we're all quite different. And then scrolling through, I've been pretty harsh as I've come down.
Again, let's flip that one round. That one doesn't really work. So let's hide that one. A few of these have lived here so I can illustrate later on. Some other techniques I want to teach about the develop module. These ones here with the Go there, it looks like it's leaning a bit.
We'll leave them there because there is a tool within Lightroom to correct perspective. So let's have a look at these four of the top top that I've left in the air because I shot them at slightly different angles. And I want to just illustrate that top of the top talk in relation to the background changes as I've changed my position. So from crouching down to standing up. It gives a different sort of an image and interaction with the top dog in the background changes. So just a matter of going through that in one I don't like us too cluttered and busy.
Not as dramatic as quinoa but flour down. As you can see, when I'm really low to the ground, the top of the text at the top of the top top the taxi signs sticks out, above the covered walkway on the background. This one here backwards. It's just too distracting. And so there is the favorite one. All of them a little bit different.
And just choosing one based on the relationship between the top dog in the background. Okay back happened to tune the Black Flag images on a game out of over 300 photographs with come down to 46 a little over 10%. So now we're going to come over to the right hand side panel. So having April open that and bring out the metadata panel, where we can now begin to add some more refined keywords. So just selecting all the ones that we've shot up the funnel market at more than my market. I will go through now and that is the location for those images and the remainder of them.
Now we'll select, they were all shot at watermark markup. So we'll add that to the keyword list. Now begins the more detailed task on selecting all of the ones with trolleys or push cats, ham cats on them and we'll go through and just add some keywords to those and adding keywords like this will help you be able to find your images and the days in weeks and months and years to come. After careful with e keywording will make it very easy to find To search within Lightroom or to search within other software that can recognize metadata information. And these keywords will help you to locate images when you need to find them again, as I mentioned earlier in the course, I prefer to file everything by date and use the keywords or tags to help me find them in the future. It's a much more efficient, much more effective way than any other that I've tried.
So just keep on coming through and being a little bit of maintenance with the keywords but things selective as well. You don't want to have too few keywords, but you don't want to spend too much time on adding keywords to your images over. And I've been doing this sort of work. This was my first job when I worked in the newspaper I was to catalog the images and tag them for the library staff. These were for the other photographers of the daily newspaper I worked at, and it was my job as a junior in the office to help organize themselves a good skill to have. That does work differently.
Now that we're working on computers back then I was to finger typing all of the information onto the negative bag before we store the negatives on them. So nowadays, it's a lot easier and as I mentioned, doing it by date because the date is always attached. And the metadata of the image once shot, the date and the time. It's a very effective, very efficient way to catalog your images using the date and timestamp that is on the image when it's created and the camera is I think the most effective my efficient way to catalog the images and then to add keywords to them at this stage in the process, so it makes searching for them in the future much easier.
