Time Photographing vs Time Post Processing.

At the first meeting of the Photo Trek tour of India, When one of the "Mentors" was teaching how to (p)reset your picture style to get a "finished" image, he asked how many people like to spend time in Photoshop massaging their images -- I was the only person to put up their hand.

So I'm guessing that even accomplished amateurs are intimidated by their RAW images and ACR.

If I shoot at 1/30 sec and spend five minutes in post, that's about .05% on shooting and over 99% on post.

lol, :-) 1/30sec...no time counted on looking for the shot or at the shooting location or thinking about what you want to do, of course you are a pro so it may all be instinct by now and that is the time you take...well to be fair then, you should only count the amount of time during a mouse click or slide a slider in Lightroom and not the time thinking about what you want to do. Of course with the use of custom presets in Lightroom, you may be able to trim that post time down to a couple seconds.

Depends.

Sometimes I spend a LOT of time post.

• This includes renaming files. When I shoot tennis or volleyball, I prefix the file name with their play order (S1 for 1st singles, D1 for 1st doubles) or jersey number. This is so I can "try" to balance the number of shots per player, and so the parents can find the pix of their kid easier.
  
• When I shoot RAW, just the RAW to JPG conversion takes extra time, compared to shooting JPG. My old version of PS Elements cannot read the RAW file from my D7200, so I have to run it through the Nikon software for the initial edit and conversion to JPG, then do the final edit in PS Elements. Yes, I have to update my PS Elements.
   
  
• If I shoot a party or event, I will likely tweek/adjust/crop most of the pix in some way.
  
  • The worst one was at a wedding. There was a gal in a "look at me ORANGE" dress, that seems to have gotten herself into MANY of the pix. I had to mask out that orange dress to make it BLACK, so that it would not distract from the bride and groom. Man what a time consuming pain.
    

BTW when I shot b&w film, I would shoot for an hour and spend several hours developing then printing. So post processing (developing and printing) was generally significantly longer than the shoot itself.
