>>4342866i get a little bummed that my stuff isn't that good sometimes but i haven't lost interest, haven't lost the fire yet. almost 2 years into actively shooting, it does feel bad sometimes that my progress is so small, but photography is a game of decades and lifetimes.
nice shot btw
>>4343006this is my experience. i find it sort of therapeutic to go out and shoot. the experience is as valuable as the pictures.
i'll add that even if i didn't execute, i can usually figure out my mistakes and plan improvements for next time, apply my photography theory. as others said, the worst is when you thought you did everything right, expected a good result, and then ended up with junk. feels bad because your theory was off
