How I take, edit and store digital photos.

Camera Settings

  • I take photos in RAW
  • Make sure the camera has the correct date and time

Backup

Amazon Photos offers unlimited photo storage (including RAW files), as long as you have Amazon Prime. I use it to back up every photo I take.

Editing

I use Lightroom to edit and filter the RAW files.

I delete most of my photos at this stage, and only edit and export the ones I want to keep.

Storage

I export my edited photos from Lightroom into Apple Photos. Most photos just sit on my camera roll, but I’ll “favourite” some of them, and use albums if they’re from a particular event or holiday.

Getting Prints

If I want good old-fashioned 6x4 prints, I use FreePrints or SnapFish.

For a big print to go on my wall, I use Whitewall.
