When reading this exercise, nothing immediately sprang to mind regarding how I should alter my existing workflow, so I left it as it was. My ongoing project required a number of visits to the lake to get an appropriate range of photographs - different times of day and different weather conditions.
After my first outing I transferred my photographs and carried out the first sift. Removing these photographs got me thinking about "planning verses execution" and TAOP project about planning a shoot. Whilst I didn't specifically write a plan for this exercise I did think carefully about the specific photographs I wanted to take. Then naturally, other photographic opportunities presented themselves on the day.
Since some of the planned and the ad-hoc photographs were relegated, I started to analyse much more carefully the photographs that I wanted to repeat on the following visit. This in turn generated ideas for new photographs that I wanted to try.
I then generated thumbnail prints of these photographs, stuck them in my pocket book, and scribbled notes beside them as an aide-mémoire. As a result, my workflow has been amended to include these review and planning steps.
