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 am a beginner photographer. Me and my camera and lens tend to go everywhere together these days. I put myself down as no rules photography. I'm mainly in do birds and creatures. But I would like to get into TFP. In my area. When I'm out I like to shoot people's dogs. And happy to give them a Email address if they wanted retrieve their photo. Most photographers have a limit on what they take. I don't. I think you can learn a lot by taking photos of all sorts of things? Just the other day a old photographer friend came with me and we took pictures of statue's. & she wanted some with the statues. I always happy to give her photos I take. She helps me out a lot with my photography etc. I have a old camera & a new lens. But not really limited to taking photos. Where most photographers have to be changed lens I don't. But saying that most photographers can't handle the weight I carry. You can get similar Lenses that don't weigh so much . I have learnt to take lots of photos and only keep a few. I shoot in manual mode 90% of the time . & Shoot Hand held. I carry a monopod on my pack. As sometimes you need stability. & A monopod that can handle the weight of my camera and lens. I use the three legged thing. Monopod. I also think lots of photographers give up because they don't have enough imagination .
