On average what would you say is your success rate when you go out to shoot? And what’s your experience level?

For myself who has a passion for photography but zero formal training and only purchased my first real camera less than a year ago, I’d say 1% of the pictures that I take are “good” or at least to the point to where I’d share them.

I know a lot comes from just going out and taking pictures but I feel like the gaps between when I go out and take pictures and actually sit at the computer and look at them is so spread out that I can never remember what I did or was thinking last time I was out shooting

    This is a good thing to point out. “Photos I’m willing to at least share” are usually something you can find. “Photos I’m proud of”, because I imagined a shot, made all setup and preparation, and it worked out? Way smaller set.

      Yeah, that’s a great way of saying it. And just because I don’t think my photos are excellent doesn’t mean I don’t want to share them. I still want to share “okay” photos.
