It is a tragedy to not make a picture because you don’t want to deal with post production. Yet, many photographers have exactly this feeling–that photography has become a burden. Here’s an idea to help make using two or more cameras less burdensome.Why Two Cameras?

Just the other day I had a shoot that would take a full 9 hours, but I wasn’t sure that was enough time, so I was seeking ways to save time and maximize my efficiency. One thing I know about myself is that if I have to change a lens to make a wide angle picture or a telephoto, then I’m a lot less likely to do it, and switching lenses takes up valuable time, too. I put the wide angle lens on one camera body and the telephoto on the other. Now I can drop one camera onto my Spider Holster and pick up the other and I’m ready to make more pictures with a fresh view. Many sports and wedding shooters also use two cameras with wide and long lenses.

But have you ever tried to manage pictures from multiple cameras? It can be a disaster. Lightroom can sort pictures by camera model and even by serial number, or by lens used, but the easiest method is to sort by Capture Time so all your pictures show up in order as things happened. At least, it’s easy if you synchronize your cameras before the shoot, and I know three ways to do it….
