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?

Yea, stop looking at others pictures, and concentrate on your own. Your problem is your mindset. As long as you think your photos are not as good as others, they never will be.

The photos I take are not any better or any worse than others...they are mine. And as someone who has probably been doing this twice as long as you've been alive, I can honestly say I like mine, and don't compare them to others. Every photo is a once-in-a-lifetime shot that will never come around again, and every photographer is like no one else.

Once you realize that the problem is not the photos, but the mind of the one taking them, then you'll have the answer you're looking for.
