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
Photo degree / 15 years experience / committed amateur level of involvement
For my landscape stuff, barring some unforseen malfunction or thing moving through the shot, it’s as close to 1:1 for shots to keepers as I can manage. Once you know what your settings / lens can give you, there’s not really a reason to set up for a shot unless you see the potential.
For my concert stuff, especially since I only use available stage and ambient lighting, I usually average around 20 - 30 sellable quality images out of 500 - 750 shots.
