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

    I am a beginner photographer. Me and my camera and lens tend to go everywhere together these days. I put myself down as no rules photography. I’m mainly in do birds and creatures. But I would like to get into TFP. In my area. When I’m out I like to shoot people’s dogs. And happy to give them a Email address if they wanted retrieve their photo. Most photographers have a limit on what they take. I don’t. I think you can learn a lot by taking photos of all sorts of things? Just the other day a old photographer friend came with me and we took pictures of statue’s. & she wanted some with the statues. I always happy to give her photos I take. She helps me out a lot with my photography etc. I have a old camera & a new lens. But not really limited to taking photos. Where most photographers have to be changed lens I don’t. But saying that most photographers can’t handle the weight I carry. You can get similar Lenses that don’t weigh so much . I have learnt to take lots of photos and only keep a few. I shoot in manual mode 90% of the time . & Shoot Hand held. I carry a monopod on my pack. As sometimes you need stability. & A monopod that can handle the weight of my camera and lens. I use the three legged thing. Monopod. I also think lots of photographers give up because they don’t have enough imagination .
