There's a tendency now with digital of shooing quickly and "fixing any errors in Photoshop. Now personally I think that's wrong, it's much better to "get it right" in camera.
Back in the good old days of film, I used to shoot a wedding on 2 rolls of 36 (72 shots) out of that I'd have to get between 30 and 60 really good shots for the album (depending on package) Now it's not uncommon to shoot 1200-1500 shots on a wedding, ok the albums hold 120 shots now, but thats still a much higher wastage rate, for want of a better term.
What is easily forgetton is the more shots you take and the rougher they are, the more time post processing you'll spend.
Back with film I'd shoot a wedding, drop the films off at the lab and spend an evening putting the album together, now with digital I can spend 2 or 3 days post processing the images, if the photographer who took them them didn't get it right in camera.
So theres your tip guys, work slower, take less shots but get each and every one right in camera, you'll save yourself a lot of time and trouble in the long run.
