Everytime I shoot an event I look at all the bad pictures first. Then I go back through and find the good ones. Then I go back through the bad photos looking for things that can be fixed. So the blue graph between "all I shoot is bad" and "Dammit, I suck" happens to me about 20-30 times per year and lasts about 24-48 hrs each time.
I get that everytime I shoot something I have not shot before. The Mondioring Nationals were a good example. While I certainly had a number of good photos overall I know that I could have done better, and will do better the next trial. My sales were still excellent, far better than I expected. I can't wait to shoot a trial where I feel I "nailed" it.
I even feel it sometimes at our groupshoots (while looking at the lcd version of what I have shot)

What are the basic photography guidelines, for example, symmetry, Light and shadow, Color, Content... I know there are several others, but I forget them. I was trying to remember what was taught to me back in 1991 from Donna Cosentino Black and White Beginning Photography Courses. Does anyone know the basic photo outlines in developing diverse high quality pictures? Please let me know.
I didn't see "finally calibrates monitor" (or quit editing on a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio laptop ( at Greg)) on the curve anywhere...Doh!
Other things they missed are the Big Crop (I know there is a hawk here somewhere (shot with a 28-75mm)) sydrome and the Rapidfire (10 shots of the same subject even though it only moved a fraction of an inches) syndromes.
Coming from film it never even occurred to me to try that, or that anyone else would either . . . but then I actually met someone who was doing it. Took me a while to finally ask why I kept hearing multiple shots all the time.
