The ratio of keepers to discards varies for me but what I'm certain of is that in the film era when you heard the "chi-ching" of a cash register (remember those?) every time you
pressed the shutter button I had far fewer rejects.
On average, how many photos do you take of your watch, before you get one you are happy to post?
I think I am running about 4-5 discards for each keeper (even after doing this for 20 years) but of course it depends on the watch and its crystal. 1. Oops, should have taken off my glasses and inspected the dial & crystal, even though I rubbed it on my s...
Very true - but your stats are way better than mine
I'd probably say mine is closer to 1 in 10! But at least it's digital photography & you can see your results quickly & delete the disasters. A large chunk is being brutal & deleting as many as you can. Cheers JML

I've gotten pretty adept at it.
I'd call my rate of success at roughly 50%, notwithstanding the shots I know are likely to turn out sub-par before I even take them, but am still occasionally willing to experiment and test things out....
I dont really count actually…..
Usually I will take a bunch of shots and look at them when I have time and discard those that are really bad. The remaining are kept which could be used for posting subsequently. At times when I take the shots with the intention to post, i would say at le...
Very nice walk through the process of getting one decent shot!
My personal ration is often around 8 for 1, but sometimes the first shot is the best and the harder I try, the worst it gets!
