So I'm trying to get better at this photography thing and I think I'm overthinking it :0 Last weekend I was taking informal pictures at a friends childs baptism and my pictures are worse than ever. Shooting with a rented lens at 2.8 inside the church I was missing things or not focusing on the right things( using center focus) At the post event reception my DOF was all wrong.
Worse than ever even when I was shooting in auto mode a while back I was getting better shots.
I think I'm trying too many things at once - shooting wide open, using center focus etc

I think I just need to shoot more and not do so much analysis paralysis...

This question is to "Hogs" that aren't professional and who
don't take pictures to earn a living. I have heard of amateur
photographers who shoot pictures of birds, landscapes,
buildings, seascapes, flowers etc, etc, etc, in the tens of thousands. I can understand shooting pictures of vacations, children, pets etc, etc, but what do you do with your pictures?

I started taking pictures sixty years ago. I had a modest Argus c3 and I developed my own black and white film and enlarged and printed my
pictures. These pictures were put into albums. Over the years I
accumulated thirty six albums. The pictures were various sizes, 3x5 up
to 5x7. I estimate I have over ten thousand pictures in hard cover
albums. In the 1960's I started taking colored prints and had them
processed professionally. I probably have three to five thousand
dollars invested in hard cover albums and colored picture processing.
I haven't looked at these pictures in over ten years. Close to twenty
years ago I went digital. I store my pictures in my computer in
separate categories. I have about seven thousand pictures in my computer now.
They are so much easier to view and use in projects and they haven't
cost me anything. What a difference digital makes. I would like to
hear how you "Hogs" store and use your pictures.
