Do you remember Beyonc\u00e9’s 2013 Superbowl performance?  Neither do I.  But I bet you remember the resulting photos.  You know the ones – the incredibly unflattering faces, double (and triple) chins, and expressions so awkward they could freeze time?  Yeah… you remember them.  I’ll save Beyonc\u00e9 the embarassement of re-posting them and simply link to one of the millions of articles about Beyonc\u00e9’s viral superbowl pictures<\/a>.  Did you know that culling (and discarding of the culled photos) could have saved Beyonc\u00e9 this embarassement?  What is culling and why is it important?<\/p>\n

One of the advantages of digital photography is that you are not limited by a mere 24 frames per roll nor by the associated cost of developing each and every roll.  You can slap a 128 gigabyte memory card into your camera and press the shutter several thousand times before requiring more digital space.  Digital photographers are taking more of the “in between moment” photos than film photographers every did because we are not limited by image space in nearly the same way.  Film photographers captured the images with purpose and forthought.  Digital photographers can put their camera on ‘continuous’ mode and capture 24 images over the course of 30 seconds.<\/p>\n
