I think I get one great shot every day.

However, each time I look back at my "great" shots, they look that little bit less great.

Once The Great Filter Of Time has done it's work, I reckon on 1-2 "Great" per year and a couple of dozen "I Really Like This One".

Plus 10,000 I can't quite bring myself to delete.

Probably.

So?

IDGAF.

All good tips!

All I'd add is: wave a feathery wand just over the camera to attract their attention.

Am museum professional paper conservator. Can confirm.

I have a picture of myself on the contact page of my website.

right, same here. IMHO that needs to be there, but no more than that.

Copenhagen–Mombassa is just over €600 and there's all the wildlife you can possibly want. I did that in December and it was lovely. Too warm if anything.

As someone who has an ultra-wide lens on order, this is timely and useful advice.

For me, this is what turned my landscape photography from "Oh yes, I remember that place" to "Print and frame".

Beautiful scenery and beautiful light is not enough.

This. If I can tell how tall you are, you're not making enough effort.

Black Diamond Screentap Gloves

Available in light, medium, and thick weights.

Game changer. Can still use touchscreen and feel controls.

I use the thin ones and if it goes below -10°C then I put mitts over them. Remove mitts, allow mitts to dangle from strings attached to wristwarmers, take shot, replace mitts.

If it is ONLY the red dots that are blurry, my guess is that someone tried to clean the focussing screen with a swab and buggered it up. That's a €250 repair. So if it's usable, I'd leave well alone.

If you will print at least one sheet per week, I'd definitely consider home, for quality control rather than price per se. Any less often and the damn thing dries up and becomes unusable. I'm assuming inkjet here.
