I usually split my pictures up in a couple of
categories, like this :
- Interesting : definitely worth keeping, quite
appealing.
- OK : I'd add this to a travel foto diary, but
it's photographically speaking not really a
success.
- boring : nothing really there to look at, or
too much in the picture
- bad : exposure/focus problems
It's very seldom that I have an "excellent"
category, since I'm really, really picky. From
my little picture gallery at
http://www.geocities.com/leyssens/Oly/Oly.html ,
I'd consider the curtain, the garbage bag and the
wheel+building "interesting". Unfortunately, I
didn't shoot the garbage bag :-( The other 3 are
OK. There's a couple of OK- pictures on the
roll, and it was 39 shots on a Sensia, so I get a
rather low average.
BTW, I'm heading for a world music festival near
Antwerp (Belgium) next weekend and I'm taking the
0m-4T+90mm/f2 on Sunday. Saturday ends with a
big party and I'd have to hold on to the machine
while dancing and stuff... Too dangerous.
BTW2, I'm 29 as well. Maybe we can start an "As
Old As M-1" club ?
Peter.
