I am new to LR so I hope what I am asking makes sense.
I am going on a trip and will take many bird images over 6 weeks. I want to organize my photos by species - reddish egret, snowy plover, wood stork, etc. but I will be importing and working on these images as I take them. I was wondering if it would be easier to label folders by date, import the photos that way, and later move the images through LR into "species" folders or would it be easier to save sidecar files of the images and then later move the photos using the finder into appropriate species folders? If I did it the later way, it seems I would toss my catalog and then re-import the photos into my master catalog when I get home.
Which method would be the easiest for me to use and if I used the second method would I just import the photos with no import settings and keep the changes I created in each file?
