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

I'd put myself at beginner level, shooting on occasion for the last two years. Probably film for the last year especially once I started doing my own home development/scanning

Digital keeper rate is probably 5% if I'm being optimistic.

35mm film is maybe 10-15% but it varies by roll

120 film (both 6x6 and 6x9) I haven't shot enough of in order to figure out yet. I have a few that I like but I'm trash at DSLR scanning, inverting, and fixing them
