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.

Heyoo guys. I have an soul roblem. I fell like i m still bad at photography. I took over 10k photos with a Sony a6000 in 1 year and only few of them are "good". I can t get out of this felling. I just began a photography course in my town, but i still don t think my photos are good enough. I allways wonder about time spent for over 10k, more precise 11 243 shots. And i look at other photographers having only 4-5k photos taken and their photos being so good. I just don t know what to do, i am stucked in this loop...Any advices?

I've been photographing around a year too, I like some of my photos but I'd not consider any of them good in comparison to people who have been photographers for years.

They're good enough for me for the first year, and I enjoy the act of taking the photo.

A photographer I follow says that one photo a month worthy of going in his portfolio is a normal aim, and he's been going far longer and does it as a full time job.
