Hi,
I'm not usually one for forums or social media. But it looks nice in here.
A little about me:
I first dipped my toe into photography in 2000 and got on the digital bandwagon in 2005. When I bought Lightroom 4, I (finally) moved all my photos into one place. I'm on the CC train now and (currently) attempting to use both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. I've also doubled down and bought a 1TB plan and put my whole library in there. My organisation has been limited to just date order. My workflow is put them in lightroom, then feel overwhelmed by 40,000 images, pick a couple to mess about with, then run out of time. Time is always a problem for me. I always see Lightroom as my "safe place" because I (usually) have automated backups and backups of my backups. I work in IT, so I am somewhat paranoid.
A little about why I'm here:
Well, I'm focusing on making more time for my organisation, processing and sharing of my work. I'd really like to sort out a Lightroom system/workflow to help with that. Then I'd really like to up my game on editing images because right now I move lots of sliders until I think it looks better, but don't really understand many of them. And finally, maybe I can help out somewhere. I really don't know what advice I would have to offer, but I'll help where I can.
I hope you're all well in these somewhat difficult times.
Steve
