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?

Pick rules, and focus on them one at a time. First, learn the rule of thirds. Most cameras have a grid that you can use. You almost never center a subject. This rule can be practiced even when you have nothing interesting to shoot. Second, take photos within an hour of sunrise and sunset. Airplanes are always going to look the same and boring unless you can mix it with another subject. Also, look down to find interesting stuff. Maybe you live in a unique area that's boring to you, but interesting to others. It's really about using your imagination more than anything.
