So not all the photos you take are going to be good, but do you save those that are blurry or out of focus?

At the moment, I do, but since starting to shoot in RAW then I have realised they are starting to take up space on my tiny hard drive.

Just wondering what other peoples thoughts are on the matter.

If the photo is blurry or out of focus, then it's a no-no (N).

But if it's "bad" as in composition and such, I still save it, but I know the day will come when I'll go through all these photos and delete them :D

Posting pics on Facebook... Why?

What happened to cataloging on PC and sharing it through Flickr to only a few friends than allow every friend on Facebook access your photos?

Manage your friends lists for access rights? :p

Anything I put on Facebook Photowise I dont really have a problem sharing.. to be honest

I do more or less delete most of the blurry/out of focus pictures unless they are really worthy..

Usually I keep everything on the camera that I take (unless I run out of room on my memory card), then I'll transfer everything to my laptop, and get rid of most of the terrible ones then. I still have quite a few bad ones on here though, I'm just too lazy to sort them out lol

If I take an out of focus photo it's on purpose since I have an Autofocus motor on my camera lenses. So yeah, I save them.

Autofocus combined with user error can still produce out of focus photos (bad lighting, fast movement, focusing on unwanted point, wrong focus point selection, etc)

Actually If I want 100% precious focus of my critical shots I use a tripod+Life View on LCD+magnification, then manual focus :D

I know, but I was just using that as an excuse for my OCD complex when it comes to perfect photography.

If it's hideously underexposed (completely black) or overexposed (completely white), or *really* out of focus, I delete it. Usually delete it in camera before even downloading to my PC. If its just poor composition or a bad angle or whatever then I keep it - hard drive space is really cheap and who knows, might want stuff...someday.

I keep most things, and once a month (or so) I'll go through everything and kill any that I don't like.

I actually turned one really blurred photo (accidentally blurred) into something cool while messing with Photoshop - just being blurred doesn't mean it can't be something good.

I don't delete anything. My camera screen is too small to make any decisions like that - so I wait to upload them. Storage is cheap now-days, so I keep everything.

I know I've looked back on stuff I've initially hated, and fell in love with it. Sometimes it just takes a fresh day to realise something :D

Exactly (Y). I do the same every once in a while.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
