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

    For myself I find it most helpful to break down why the photos are not keepers/sharers: technical mistake? Just a boring picture? Missed the moment? Is the picture good, but I’ve got a better one? Is the idea good, but I got a better one? Does it not tell an appropriate story?

      This is a good addition - what portion are rejects due to technical issues, and what due to aesthetic issues?
