Before the advent of digital photography, each wasted shot was wasted film. Because of this, photographers had to be very selective in choosing their shots. Today, the digital photographer can take the “machine gun” approach of taking as many shots as they desire, deleting the ones that aren’t perfect. Post-processing technology even allows photographers to remove objects from their shots. This destroys the pursuit of the perfect shot that was once the hallmark of the truly talented photographer.
