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
Yes, and the perfection of the technical aspects of the camera (exposure, focus, lens quality, etc.), and the very extensive correctives available in “processing,” mislead photographers into thinking they are good at it, when in fact, they have done nothing other than pointing a camera in a general direction.
