Weekly Poll: What percentage of your shots do you consider "keepers"?

[EllaBites]

I used to keep just about every shot I took. Recently I got a D40 and I am lucky if I keep 10% of the shots I take. I am still tweaking with a lot of things, getting used to white balance has really ended in my taking a ton of photos that I never use.


Where I am has an affect on how many shtos I keep too. On vacation, I won't get rid of hardly any shots, and generally, they all turn out great. When I am shooting around town, or working on certain techniques, I trash a lot more often.

I voted 11-25%. When I finish a shoot, I usually pull out images right away that I think have 'potential' to sell.

1-4 seems about right for me...grew up using film...remember when the Kodak 110 pocket camera was the coolest thing ever...learned to compose my shots carefully because film and developing ate up a lot of my lawn cutting money. Then I got my first SLR - Canon AT1- and still using 35mm film was a budget buster now that I've gone digital I still think how much the cost of film made a more efficient shutterbug
