Maybe this is just me, but i am constantly disappointed with everything I shoot.
I mean, I'm not going to give up or stop. But I constantly look back at what I took last year/month/week, even hours after and what I previously though was a great shot, just looks, well awful.
I recently second shot a wedding, it was literally the most fun I've had with a camera. I was smiling ear to ear, loving what I was shooting and seeing on the LCD during the day. Importing the cards at the end of the day, was even better, I couldn't sleep because I was so excited to get on processing all of these great images I took.
Two days later, I struggled to scrap together a handful of images I didn't absolutely hate, and even then I would rather not share them anyone. The main photographer was very happy with them, which is what counts, but I'm not proud of them in the slightest. I look at them and just see a load of rubbish.
I'm getting bookings, and selling stuff via Getty etc, so I must be doing most of it right, but I don't think I've ever taken an image I'm proud of.
Does any else feel like this? Or am I just failing to meet my own ever increasing standards?
