I call it the “postproduction suction.” You spend two hours behind the camera and four hours behind the keyboard editing, correcting and tweaking your shots. This phenomenon can creep into your photographic life, slowly embezzling your time away from the shutter release and into the return key until it dawns on you that you haven’t hit the trail for weeks, maybe even months. This sinking feeling is the realization that you’ve become the dreaded “desk chair photographer.”</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/printing-and-output/shoot-more-process-less.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=OPeNewsMar09_1_020409"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD><A href="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-08-lg.jpg" class="highslide"><IMG height="250" border="0" width="166" alt="shoot more" src="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-08-sm.jpg" /></A></TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/printing-and-output/shoot-more-process-less.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=OPeNewsMar09_1_020409"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD><A href="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-05-lg.jpg" class="highslide"><IMG height="250" border="0" width="166" alt="shoot more" src="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-05-sm.jpg" /></A></TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/printing-and-output/shoot-more-process-less.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=OPeNewsMar09_1_020409"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD><A href="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-07-lg.jpg" class="highslide"><IMG height="250" border="0" width="166" alt="shoot more" src="http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2009/march/postproduction/Nick_Carver-07-sm.jpg" /></A></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3B43D49A-474D-43A9-A7F4-3E9DA0D45224/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
