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.

Successful shot rate (alien.top)

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 don’t shoot much outside of the studio. I’ve never been that good on my feet like that.

Even with the complete control over studio conditions it can still vary a lot, like maybe the hair isn’t right, or wardrobe is problematic because it doesn’t fit or whatever. Biggest determinant for what I shoot is usually how comfortable someone is (and experienced at) being in front of the camera.

Experience level: idk. I’ve done a lot of commercial work by happenstance, but I’m only really good in very specific situations. So I’d probably two myself at like a neutral number in the middle.
