Just wondered if I'm on my own here..
Last few weeks I must have taken 500 - 600 shots and I've kept maybe 5.

That's coming in at around 1% of photo's are what I'd consider worth keeping. :(

Anyone else hitting those lows?
 
I've predominantly been taking footy shots so there is quite a proportion of binned photos over keepers but dont think my ratio has been that low :eek:
 
I did 6 shoots in my studio last weekend and shot over a 1000 photo's, keepers I would say 5-10% of that. When shooting medium format with 10 shots on a 120 film I stop and think more than I do with digital. I guess film does make you stop and think and digital can make me lazy.
 
when you say keep i assume you mean pp? i've recently started only processing "exceptional" shots which means my keeper rate has gone down massively, probably to something like 1% too. My actual binned shots have reduced too though. I used to have a 5-10% "keeper" rate and loads binned, hopefully the change means im getting better and more picky. :p
 
From a wedding, I deliver about 25%. First cut it's 40% though which includes quite a few too similar shots, so I ended up dropped some good ones but repetitive.
