"Merry Blobmas" Edition.

It is time.

How do you do it?

I've been getting more active with my photography for a few years now and it's starting to get messy.
On my hard drive I have my pictures in different folder by year and month, so it's quick and easy to just clear out my SD card.
Then in Lightroom I pick the images I like and want to use and put them in a collection. However usually I make one collection per "set" and very rarely group any of the collections. Only have a group for shooting at protests, one for portraits and a few for some multi-week trips I took that resulted in multiple photo-sets.
In my context a set is just a collection of images with a similar theme or from the same day that I post on social media or send to friends or whatever.

Having an ever growing list of collections seems like a problem waiting to happen, especially if I want to go pro one day, so I was wondering how you guys manage it? The only thing I've seen online that might be a good idea is maybe grouping my collections by location to make them a little easier to sort through when I end up visiting the same place multiple times.

And if you have some from the halloween you would like to share, please do.

Been years since I posted here, photo dump.

We rate them on the couch together, looking at them on the TV, then I delete the bad ones from our Linux server before sending a big archive to cloud.

We do this process once a year, around new year's.

If anyone is interested, I'll link the github. What other tools would you suggest that have a high WAF "Wife acceptance factor" for this process?

Give it straight to me, /p/.

Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?
Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.

I shoot black and whit 'art' photos.
I print a lot. So i spend a lot of time looking at the details of each photo. especially if they're hanging on my wall.
that being said, i have a conundrum which, surprisingly, isn't well covered on the internet:

>would you say a leica monochrom, or a medium format (with more bits and more sensor real estate) would produce better black and white images?
