Ratio'sOut of every 500 shots (and it's not difficult to take this many in a day) I'd guess that = 200 are rubbish - straight deletion 150 are acceptable - nothing special, keepers for memories but not to share 100 are tolerable - can be improved in photoshop and made to look a lot better 40 are reasonable good - they came out as I wanted and expected, still need a little photoshop but not much 6 are good - the sort of things to share with other people, where everything has come out well 3 are excellent - these are the photo's which work and where I think, yeah, maybe I can do this photography thing 1 is stunning - and I ask myself did I really take that? Everyone gets lucky, and this is my lucky shot - right place, right time It's generally the last 10 that I'll post to a photo community, perhaps some of the reasonable ones where my photoshop skills have improved them sufficiently So, what ratio's do you think you shoot to? |

4th Mar 2008, 8:37 PM Wheelybird is right up to a point. Pro's like the paps, fasion and glamour photographers fire off hundreds of frames then a picture editor chooses the best, but I think what makes a good photographer is someone who can spot a picture, like a landscape for example, and then have the knowledge and patience to come back when the conditions are right to make the perfect picture. So I guess I would say a good photographer is one who can get the best shot, on the first attempt, through being prepared in the first place. |
