[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 876218, member: 89124"] I pretty much have to agree with VI here. I can see keeping *some* of your not great shots to help you remember what you didn't like and what you would like to change for things like framing (or possibly what didn't work for certain creative exposure techniques) - but straight out blurry, no subject, etc. pics just tend to not be very helpful - using VI's example of panning photography, having the non-keepers won't help much if the entire photo is blurry - I could only see keeping some that were in focus but you didn't like the shutter speed so you could have a reference of what you did like and why (so you don't waste time in the future re-trying something you have an example of why you don't like it). Keeping everything just absorbs too much space. I know I have a lot of storage space, and honestly, with everything else I do, I don't want to use it all for photos that provide me nothing to help me in the future. I usually only keep those that either I deem a decent photo, one that I want to keep for sentimental reasons (like some crappy photos I have of some pets that have since passed on), or give me quality info to help me take a better photo in the future. just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
