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 like your airplane pics they are atmospheric and moody.

10k photos isn't that many photos, in my first term at uni I shoot around 200 36 exposure rolls of film. That's 7200 photos approx, only about 10 were any good for my project.

The point I'm making is don't count how many photos you've taken to use as a quantifier of your ability, choose a subject matter and keep photographing it till you get a picture you like.

If you don't know what you like look at some famous photographers till you see images that interest you.
