Post processing and editing are killing my enjoyment of photography … (the PP blues)

[Haigh]

One pro told me that once he used to just send his work all to a colour lab but now clients expect a quick turn around and many many images from one session and he ends up working in front of a computer for hours on at a time. He does not enjoy it.
I, on the other hand am an amateur so I am under no pressure to spend hours on my digital colour shots.

As a working pro myself not weddings just news so I don't shoot that much I find that once the job is done I have to immediately start editing etc or I will find the job tedious.
If I'm on a tight deadline I set my cameras drive to slow (Canon Mk3s) or use my 5ds so I don't shoot too much.
Good luck, I know you want to do the best job you can but sometimes pay=your time/effort.

I don't like doing it either. For some reason, if it's work someone is paying me for, it's just not as fun and I have to sit down and force myself to do it. I used to put it off, but now I do it as quickly as possible to get it over with and out of my sight.

Keith,
William Eggleston once wrote that he only ever takes one shot of a motif. That way he doesn't have to choose which is the best.

The digital age has has led to a massive increase in the number pictures we take and have to deal with. But are we producing better pictures?
