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?

Good image to bad ratio, what is it? If your getting five (5) good ones out of a thousand (1000) that is nothing to be worried about. You are shooting digital. The ratio used to be maybe two (2) or three (3) good out of a hundred when film was the media. Look at your progress from when you started to where you are now. Did you improve? Good, now go shoot more. Not improved, go shoot even more. Reread the camera manual see if you can get more creative with settings, maybe only 2-3 shots of something rather than banging off 20 of the exact same image, same settings, and expecting to get better, the manual controls on your camera are your best friend, it makes you think before you shoot. Then go shoot, and then shoot more. cheers.
