[Man From Ironbark]

I understand and agree with what you wrote. Of course we don't post our bad photos.

With digital photography I can take hundreds of photos in a single outing without spending anything but my time, and that time is usually very enjoyable, especially if spent with a photography friend. And if I get only 2 or 3 good photos out of 500, that's fine - I get some exercise outdoors and have an enjoyable couple of hours.

Yes. It is all about getting out and about. The camera is a good excuse for the same. All the photos aren't really bad, just not the best. Each one is a record of what the camera saw or rather what I pointed it at and from which POV. Though maybe not the best photo, it may well be a record of a rare event. 

Once had. surrealist artist stayiing with us and I found him going through a box of my reject slides. I said "they are my rejects, you won't find any good ones in there". He said "on the contrary, there's so much compositional inspiration in here".
