Great shot

And it's a beauty! Congrats!

Thank you!!

Thanks so much!! It's been a journey, but there's still so much to learn!

What’s harder? Taking a million pics or choosing the few you deem worthy? With a million photos I imagine you’re a harsh critic. Haha. Great pic!!

This post is worth a million photos. Well done, and great shot.

Great pic, but how do you measure the amount of photos taken.

Choosing a few that are worthy is much harder! I get pickier the more I shoot! I'm my own worst critic!

Thank you! It's been a journey!

Thanks for the feedback!

Measuring the number of photos I've shot has actually been pretty easy:

During my film days, I've kept the contact sheets for all the rolls of film along with the negatives. That was pretty easy to tally up.

When I went to digital in 2003, I kept a really good organizational system for everything that I shot. I have every digital photo I've ever shot between six external hard drives.

When the time came to tally the digital photos up, all I had to do was count the total files between the hard drives.

I've shot professionally since 2006, and many clients request photos years after the fact- so it's paid off to keep everything organized.

For this particular photo, here are the settings:

-Sony a7iv; 200-600mm lens; 1/2000 sec; f/6.3; ISO640; 12/29/22
