A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I've noticed something similar, but from a different angle.
I've been sorting though and tagging 15 years worth of photography ever since getting my NAS, and I'm noticing so many instances when I first started where I was so excited that I got something tricky in-focus, I didn't notice the composition was awful, the lighting was bland, the image told no stories, etc. I was just happy to have a picture of a thing.
I also had cheaper gear, but I wanted sharper, clearer pictures so I over-sharpened the crap out of everything and abused that clarity slider.
At the time, I honestly didn't see it and thought I was doing good work, but now it's all I can notice when I see those old images.
