(Thinking out loud a bit.)
Does any one else find themselves susceptible to perfectionism with photography? Recently and at this moment I continue to search for the "perfect" shot -- perfect sunrise, perfect sunset, perfect framing, perfect lighting, perfect composition.. and the result is a seemingly endless stream of disappointment punctuated by extremely rare shots I would call perfect or near-perfect (as in they are satisfying and could not really have been any better under the circumstances.)
For instance, this evening I took a ton of pictures of the afternoon/evening sun setting in clouds around a mountain and probably the best was 83/"100."
Do you ever find yourself searching near-endlessly for that magic shot, only to conclude that 99%+ of your results don't even come close? What do you think about perfectionism and photography?
