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.

The more I learn about photography, the lower my successful shot rate. Weird math but true.
I shoot 40 or 50 shots per look, and 3-4 outfits per studio shoots. Model gets one or two per a week or two later.
They're all good, but only show the bangers.
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
This is a classic example of where the more knowledge you get and information you consume, the less happy you get.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss!
