Top 10 Most Annoying Photo Critiques

[jowensphoto]

But without intonation, "no comment," can be understood to mean slightly different things. When spoken, you know if someone is being snobby or just indifferent.

Is it boring? Tell me it's boring. Is it a sh*** photo all around? Tell me it's a sh*** photo.

No comments usually tells me that there isn't really anything technically wrong with it, and nobody really had any ideas for how to improve it, but it didnt blow anybody away either (or was in a style or was of a subject that not many people are interested in)

Usually when I get a crickets thread I think one thing: I need to point my camera at more interesting stuff.

OK, lets say I second shoot and I took 900 shots. I go through the shots real quick and only edit the ones I want for my portfolio & blog (that are portfolio and blog worthy). I gave all 900 RAW files to my main shooter for him/her to edit.

As a main shooter, I let my 2nd shooter use whatever he/she wants for her portfolio or marketing material.

900 bloody shots were there all week ?

The more I take, the more change I get something? hahahaha.. Yeah, I need to reduce that. Average about 120 shots per hour for me.. thats probably too many.

When I second shoot, I average between 800 and 1100 shots.

I miss focus on about 50 of them. On about 20 or so, the flash didn't fire or somebody else's flash interfered. Another 20 or so, somebody stepped in between. About 200 are duplicates where I take three shots of a posed group to make sure I have at least one with eyes open. Maybe 20 or so are ring shots. Another 200 or so are detail shots. Another 20 or so of overall room shots. Another 200 of people dancing. Another 200-300 of the actual ceremony.

To me, 900 does not seem like an unrealistic number. When I shoot the formals, it is closer to 1100.

I shoot with two other photographers, so it is not uncommon to have 2500 photos during a 12 hour period. Of that 2500, about 1000 are delivered to the client. Honestly, it's not a bad keeper ratio, IMO.

There is no way i would take 900 shots, i'm shooting one for a friend film only and will probably shoot 10 rolls of 120 = 120 shots max and 2 nights developing
