I shot an Aikido (martial art) event over last weekend and ended up shooting over a thousand pictures for it, all in RAW. My initial skim through brought that down to 634.
I had to get pictures approved by the visiting Sensei before releasing them and he isn't in this country for long so I had to process all the pictures over night (about 6-7 hours). All the pictures needed work doing to them as the lighting was pretty bad, uneven, I couldn't use flash and I had to keep a reasonably high shutter speed.
I ended up creating a number of macros to automate a lot of the work and got it done in time but the quality isn't as good as I would usually aim for due to the sheer number of pictures.
This had me thinking, how do other people handle this? I'm thinking wedding photographers in particular must face this problem on a regular basis.
