Well, once I got rid of the technically bad stuff, it was easy. I let the customer decide. Commercial as opposed to art photography is easy that way.
I have never been an art photographer, so it was normally up to someone else to make that kind of decision. The only time it happened that I had to do it was for an exhibition or my portfolio. Both of those were rather easy because the photos had been taken long enough in the past that the excitement of making them no longer affected my decision. So I guess the answer to this question is wait a while. BTW, if anyone is interested, back in the old days the rule of thumb was that if you cut more than 10% of your shots for technical reasons you needed to learn photography. In later years I found that 90% of the bad stuff was lab related rather than photographer related. Now 90% of the technically bad photos are that way because I am too lazy to fight my automatic digital camera (the one I have has a lousy manual interface, plus it loses any custom setting every time I change the batteries). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
