After wondering why I didn’t buy one of those cords for my eyeglasses while I was on vacation, I related that to a recent round of golf. My level of play on the links is directly attributable to how quickly and accurately I can find and fix my mistakes. I find that I can almost always accurately figure out what was wrong with my golf swing the day following the round. That’s not a real big help. As I play more rounds of golf each season I can reduce the time from mistake to correction from the next day to before the next shot. Being able to correct mistakes on the fly is the key to not having the same mistake hurt you over and over again.
So it is with the photography. When you can figure out what you are doing wrong quickly and make sure you eliminate, or keep from repeating that same mistake your photography will get much better. That’s why I think that digital photography is a grand improvement over the analog type I practiced for decades. The results are immediately visible and corrections can be made immediately. Some that decry “chimping” as the mark of a rank amateur, but I am happy for instantaneous feedback and use it as much as I can.
