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.

That’s a part of the game tbh. When I spent 6 weeks traveling in India for photography, I took around 5000 photos on my old trusty D3300 and only think 3-4 of them are “portfolio grade images”. None of them I realized were even good until days after.
At the end of the day, If it’s not your job to shoot, just try to have fun. Enjoy capturing moments as they come; don’t try to make everything a masterpiece if they don’t need to be. Shoot on shutter/aperture priority if shooting manual is causing you to miss composition or pulls you out of a good flow state. Last thing I’ll say is find your niche. If you find a subject or content that’s captivates you, your photos will reflect that feeling.
