seems many of us behind the lens are pretty much the same,, we all miss em and think back if I had that one but just move on,,
discussing with other photographers is certainly a way to gain insight but they also have their preferred methods of selection,, have seen some rave over one that I may have thrown out and I'm sure that situation has been reversed,,
you see that here on the forum daily,, many good photos are posted but only a few that say WOW to many sets of eyes,,
I'm on FM almost daily and look at what others capture and try to keep the special ones in mind for my future times with camera in hand,,
don't become discouraged but in lieu of machine gunning your shots, take some time to give thought to what your wanting to capture and how is the camera set up to support the task,, it is not a tough process but one to learn and become part of your shooting,,
there are times I feel the digital photography age has become the same as the drive through food stores,, fast fast fast,, slow down and think what your doing and why,,
if you were shooting 25 years past and had a dozen rolls of film to develop and then hours in a darkroom to print, I think your time behind the lens would have more meaning,, sure gear cost more now but when you would spend several times the cost of your camera gear in film, chemicals and paper in a year it was certainly different,, YES I do love this digital age but so many never want to take the time to really smell the roses,,
