Also going through all of them once marking them with a "star" rating. Then you are able to get to the best first while you are freshest and ween out a lot of the filler and throw-aways.

William Eggleston has said he only takes one photograph of a subject because it's too hard to choose between them later. Considering Bill Eggleston can be a bit of a BSer, I would take that with a grain of salt. However, does simplify the editing procedure considerably.

Honestly Roger, it's easy. Really is. I'll explain all when I get through the last 427 of the 1369 I brought back from trip to France & Benelux in July (2010 - no, really!). Honest I will. You see if I don't. Soon as I'm finished. Easy. Honest...

I took about 110 shots in a week's cycling holiday in the Outer Hebrides, on a film camera with one 24mm and one 50mm lens. I still found that too many shots and wished I'd been a bit more disciplined with duplicated shots of the same scene.
Of course, if you're taking photographs for potential commercial use, the drivers are quite different; but I just can't make use of 900 shots in one area even if it is very photogenic. So I adopt the mantra "edit before you shoot, not after" which funnily enough sounds like the kind of advice Roger might give.
I accept also that the drivers are different if you're shooting wildlife or sports and the ability of a digital camera to take 8 shots per second is really useful. But landscapes don't move much so a landscape photographer can afford to slow down and take fewer shots.
By the way I recently used Roger's guidance on his web site to start developing B&W; I think it's going fairly well so thanks to Roger.
