sharing photos

[shiunn]

I recently attended a volunteer programme with a few friends, some new some old. And I took quite a few photos of them in action. I would take around 3-5 shots per spot, adjusting the exposure or trying to frame them properly, expressions etc. So, at the end of the day, some of them briefly browsed through the photos on my camera, and they asked for a copy of all the photos, burnt on a CD.

Now, I don't know if it's just me, or if it's the fact; but I feel that bombarding one with ALL the photos would somehow...dull the quality of the photos. The 'good' ones, imo, would be 'drowned' within the 'avg' or 'lousy' ones. Should I pick out and burn just the good ones? Or the conventional "give them all" is preferable?

Next question, is it normal to take shots after shots from the same spot of the same person, like, in an attempt to secure a good one? I'm a bit worried cuz i might have ocd....

When presenting, I think it's better to show the best.
Perhaps you could make a slideshow of the best but include the others on the CD too.

I've taken 100s of shots of the same person from the same place. A subtle change in expression, light, shadows, or a million other things which can change in an instant can make the difference between a good picture and a great picture.
