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

    Interestingly mine has gone way up, but its not that im taking significantly more good photos, im just taking less bad ones. In a day of landscape photography where 3 years ago I might have taken 200 photos and kept 5, I might now only take 10 photos but keep 6 or 7.

      You’re on your way to mastery! Did you know Ansel Adams would only take 1 photo of a given landscape? Insane to think about
