In 1968 Larry Burroughs told us neophytes that if he had three "good" shots on a roll he was "ecstatic". His rule of thumb was less than or equal to 1 in 36 ( my wording, not his )." I am still ecstatic to find one "keeper" per roll. It doesn't always happen! Remember that this means keepers are photos that meet a particularly high standard. Unequivocal winners. Hard to define here. Earlier on in life, I expected much more per roll. Ah, innocent youth. I've just recently worked with a beginning photographer on a story about the Channel Islands. She told me she'd shot 700 images for the story. "Don't worry," she said. "There's lots of good ones." I found four I could publish.
