I hear the term "keeper" tossed around frequently . A keeper can be a lot of different things to different people and I imagine some people scratching their heads wondering if we all have the same keeper criteria.? I have tossed pics in the trash over the decades not because of the image quality or focus or exposure but because they were just not interesting enough to impress me . I'd need a box car to store pics back in the film days if I wasn't picky.Pics of family are always keepers regardless of image quality. Besides family pics what keeps you from trashing a pic. Is a keeper to you any image that is actually not blurry or very poorly exposed? What's your keeper look like and what will you do with all those keepers in the end?
Interesting question. It really depends on context.
If I’m discussing autofocus or shutter speed or burst rate or something else technical, then “keepers” indicates my success rate (pretty much regardless of composition).
As for what I actually keep in the end, I try to be as strict as possible (composition-wise), and only keep the cream of the crop. It’s admittedly a pretty low percentage, and may help explain why I take so darn many pictures in the first place!
