Greetings all,
I'm somewhat of a lurker here, (Cameraderie) but due to the warm environ, I think it's a good place to pose this question about keywording.
Like many, when my first DAM application (iMatch) showed up on my computer, I went crazy with keywording. Over a hundred tiered keywords were created and I dutifully went about assigning as many keywords to my images as possible.
And the the fatigue set in as there where WAY to many and picking them meant scrolling through an extensive list. So the keywording stopped some 8-9 years ago.
I've accumulated some 60,000 images in my library over the past 20 years or so, but had never really done anything with them.
After being sent home in March with the CV19 quarantine, I decided it was time to go through the images.
Currently I use LR as a DAM and Capture 1 to process my images. I been through all this images, did a cursory star rating and exported the notable ones to Goggle Photos, where I made albums to share with my family.
In this process of just culling the images, a couple of hundred notable shots stood out, and I marked them accordingly for further attention.
Now that I have images treated I would like to assign some keywords to them but I want to keep the list short. 10 perhaps?
Would you please provide suggestions of a few keywords that I could use to build my short list?
Thank you in advance.
Chris
