How I rate my photos
I like to use a 5-point rating system. What the points mean differs slightly from medium to medium, so here’s what it means for photos.
A few rules.
- No half or quarter points. We’re not splitting hairs here. We’re categorizing.
- Every photo starts with no
.
1 - out of focus or beyond repair
2 - this photo does nothing for me
3 - a photo I want to keep
4 - a pretty good photo
5 - the photo causes an involuntary emotional reaction
