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
Who says the light at 2pm is crap? Seriously. Somebody who is not there? Common wisdom? This is another myth of perfection. You can take great pictures in ANY kind of light if you are capable of taking great pictures. Some of the greatest pictures of all time were taken in the “wrong” light. Don’t let the mindless crowd tell you when you can and can’t take good photos. This is just as bad as letting your camera do all your thinking.
