To the "self-proclaimed" Artists...we'll have fun with this.

In addition to having a good understanding of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, composition and "working the scene", a photographer has another secret...VOLUME. If you make enough photos of any subject, some of them will be good!

Yes EJ, Volume is important, but the "self proclaimed artist," only shows his best after edit... and does the 'Delete' button on the rest. Only composition is necessary to become a "great artist" the cameras do well on auto.
Yes the other tech things like speed, f stops etc tweaked make better shots at times, but auto does well. Vivid setting accents the colors, and taking advantage of multi focus setting and high dynamic range (HDR). My pocket superzoom Panasonic TZ100 will even take burst so one can chose from muti 10 frames per-second images.
I am amazed at people in UHH that show us many photos when only one should be shown and the rest trashed. Also the fail to crop the one shown and dilute the message.
Summary... with our modern super-zoom small cameras and AI editing we can all be correctly as this post says "Self-Proclaimed Artists." how can we fail if we follow simple constructions rules that follow psychological embedded rules.

I agree. In this age of DSLRs and Smart Phones, if a mediocre photographers takes several thousand photos, they'll likely have a least a half dozen professional quality photos in their portfolio.
Remember your statistics and probability class? "If a million monkeys hit random keys on a million typewriters for a million years, one would eventually type Hamlet or the U.S. Constitution."

Except that the way I heard it, it was an "infinite" number of monkeys on an "infinite" number of typewriters, for an "infinite" amount of time. and they would type the entire works of Shakespeare.
I don't think I have that much time left, so I would prefer to use the time in planning a photo and perhaps compressing infinity into a manageable time period.

Maybe.

Always leave the lens covered with no light leaks, and they will all be good. 😏

But there would also be an infinite pile of garbage to sort through to find the rare literary gems. 😩

If it were infinite that is like saying that it would never happen as there is no end to infinity.

No, I think that means that it would never stop happening...

Yes, if you just keep shooting into infinity, which is why I would do it differently. I don't like sorting though 100 photos let alone an infinite number of them.

? If you leave the lens covered, you will of course, have NO photos.

The UHH Gallery is evidence to the contrary.
