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

    Depends on the type of the gig. When I do generic event shoots, I take about 500-1000 in an hour (I shoot in burst mode), and about 30 of them make it at the most. So that makes it a success rate of about 3~6%?

    Each time I raise my camera, I do like a burst of 5~20. Call me spray and pray. But hey, it works.
