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.

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

For myself I find it most helpful to break down why the photos are not keepers/sharers: technical mistake? Just a boring picture? Missed the moment? Is the picture good, but I’ve got a better one? Is the idea good, but I got a better one? Does it not tell an appropriate story?

This is a good addition - what portion are rejects due to technical issues, and what due to aesthetic issues?
