If you have a student take 100 shots of one subject, for instance, you are
forcing the student to really look at and study the subject. I
can see the value in that exercise.
It's the numerous shots with no thought to the subject that I
question. If a student takes 100 shots just because he or
she can and they don't have to pay for film and processing, the student
really looking at the subject and taking full advantage of what is in front of
the camera lens? If the student gets 3 or 4 winners out of the 100, could
they duplicate those good shots? Do they know why those 3 or 4 shots are
better than the other? Shouldn't someone who wants to work in
photography know how and why some shots are better than others?
That's probably why you, Dave, can take one shot of your subject and have
that shot be a good one. You have the experience, practice and
education to know what to look for in your subject, and how to capture that
image in order to get a good shot.
