Started off with film in a cartridge and getting it developed mail order and then moved up to my first SLR (ME Super) which my dad gave me and only moved to digital just under 2 years ago.

I do shoot both but at the moment its mostly digital.

I'll start,

I chose "I shoot quite a few images some of which are good"

As something catches my eye I will shoot and move around where ever possible it until I am happy I have something that looks good or at least looks close to what I had visualised before I pressed the shutter.
I am still learning so I like to try different angles to see what works for a given subject

EDIT:- Matt beat me to it

Hi all,

I am always seeing amazing pictures on here from all the members and it got me wondering how many shots where taken to achieve them.

I mean do we go out and fire off 2-300 at a time and pick the best and delete the rest or is it a bit more controlled (Like I imaging womble is with his large format) ?

So out of curiosity I made this poll.

What I am asking is number of shots per subject of scene, not total ammount of shots on an entire expedition.

Thanks for the comments all.

i-berg,
not completely the golden hour but still early enough in the morning (08:30 ish) to get that nice warm glow

Andrew,
It wasn't really that bad, I just had to take 3 or 4 steps backwards and re-compose.

for those that called for a crop on the L/H side is this what you where thinking of?

A vote for no1 from me.

I love the pose and the lighting in it. The antennae look like they are comming out of the image in a 3d style and its rubbing its hands (feet or whatever) and looking directly at me in a relaxed / menacing fashion.

but they are all good

Good pictures Don,

I love seeing all these coloured caterpillars.

A quick bit of web search and I found this Which prolaims it to be a Cup Moth Larva.

Not poisenous, but you may want to take the day off just in case

I thought I would take a break from my usual practice of carrying several lenses and performing many changes on my photography trips. So I stuck my current fave on the front (Samsung 100mm Macro + CPL) and went for a wander

I did vote " I keep what I shoot to myself" with the exception of showing you Guys and Gals.

I would like to be able to earn money from photography doing site / installation and product shots.

Not all books are art and some are written out of necessity, it may very well have been written because the author had to write it rather that wanted to write it.
