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
My usual estimate is around 10%. I’m just an amateur, usually doing street and landscape shooting. I pretty much always fire off at least 2 or 3 shots just to make sure one is sharp or to try different settings. So a lot of the 90% rejects are just duplicates, not necessarily “bad” (by my standards anyway).
