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 would get a cheap film camera. That takes only 24 or 36 pictures. Learn exposure and framing with less photos. You will be more thoughtful before you take the picture. I also suggest you take a focal length, like a 50mm and shoot everything you can with it. Wide, tight, Portraits, Vistas until you exhaust that prime and understand what you like and don't like. Then pick another prime, use that. If you already have zooms, just pick a focal length and stick to that no matter what. Growth comes from limitations and understanding how to work with you. Pick a subject you love! A person, a hobby, a person. Shoot the shit out of it in as many ways as you can. Eventually you will exhaust the average stuff and start getting interesting. In my opinion that best photos have a feeling. If it has a feeling, you are doing it right....or at least better. I hope this helps. Don't give up, just take pictures of what you really care about.
