I've seen photographer advice that said something like "take 100 photos and only show 5" so maybe the trick is to keep taking tons of photos and learn how to select the best of them.
Yeah, I've heard that too though I don't remember if that applies to taking 100 photos throughout the course of a day and show the top 5, or taking 100 photos of a single event and show the top 5.
If it is the latter, then it seems like I would miss out on experiencing the event.
Sometimes capturing the event is experiencing the event. I've seen many amazing sunsets. Some I've just enjoyed as is, some I've enjoyed the experience of trying to capture what I was seeing.
I'm more likely to remember the ones I've captured (at least to some degree) than the ones I haven't.
