What a stupid fucking idea for a contest. "Press a button until something interesting pops out. Best button pusher wins." Glad it got subverted like that.

Yeah man, I hate photography contests too.

I'll sorry you lack creativity and understanding.

I'm also a traditional artist and do some photography as well. But by all means attack me personally because I don't agree with you.

Tell me you know nothing about photography without using those words.

I mean - I do some professional underwater photography, and sometimes it can feel like that. If 1/20 of my photos are keepers, I'm doing pretty good.

Of course getting it to the point where I can shoot 5-shot bursts and pick the good one still requires a lot of knowledge of optics, lighting, camera settings, etc and a ton of editing on the back end, but in the moment it kinda do be like that.

I'm strictly an amateur snapshot taker. So I'm lucky if 1 of 100 photos are things I consider "good".

This is why I respect people who can reach 1 in 10 keepers. They know things I don't understand.
