Thanks, Doug. I hope it’s obvious I wasn’t talking about “machine gunning.” I was taking it for granted that the photographer is trying his/her best, using whatever knowledge and skill he/she has at that point, and wants to learn, to improve, to get better. On my walk last week I literally had my camera in-hand almost the entire day every day for the entire week. And every day I took a lot of shots. I’d never done that before. I’ve been telling people back here that I learned a lot of British history just by walking around. I also improved a little as a photographer, for just these reasons. > It's true that you must take many photos before you can start getting good > ones regularly. I believe HCB said it takes ten thousand. I have encountered statements like that from others.
