This document discusses the author's photography workflows and equipment for different types of photography. For fine art landscape photography, the author uses a Nikon D800 with large, heavy lenses and processes raw files in Lightroom and Photoshop. However, this workflow is not suitable for other types of photography. The author developed a faster workflow using a smaller Sony NEX-6 camera with lighter lenses that fits easily in a small bag. Images are still shot in raw and processed using Lightroom and DXO Optics Pro for automatic raw conversion and lens corrections before further editing in Lightroom. This streamlined workflow allows the author to be more productive when shooting large volumes of images where time and quality are factors.
