Photo Quick Tip: Delete Your Bad Pictures

This one really is going to be short and sweet.

Every single person that ever uses a camera, from the top professionals to the rank amateurs, makes bad images. In fact, the dirty little secret is that the best photographers make a lot more bad images than new photographers. Of course that’s because they shoot a lot more frames than beginners, but the one big thing that sets them apart from all the others is that they know which images to show people and which ones to delete.

So if you make an image that is out of focus, badly composed, or just plain ugly, then delete it. You’ll feel better about yourself, your portfolio will be stronger, and everyone that sees your work will think that you’re a better shooter too because they will only ever see good images from you.

The hard drive in your computer, and your entire backup system, will also thank you because you will have far fewer images to store and to backup. You do backup your image files don’t you?
