Over the past couple of months, the amount of photos I'm keeping and showing off has climbed steadily as my experience and knowledge of my camera grows. Aside from setting up the shots and experimenting a bit with getting the right focus etc. I keep and show off many of my pictures so long as they aren't from a new technique I'm learning (low light situations etc.). The techniques I'm learning tend to earn a lot of 'garbage' shots but that's all part of the learning process.
Looking at pictures I took in August, when I got my camera, and pictures I've taken recently, I can definitely see an improvement and I'm happy to finally be getting the hang of this photography thing.
