I love your questions Briarne, because they get to the heart of the matter. I have never really thought about exactly how many photos I take, but I think it is a good question.

I usually take about 15 photos at a time, about once a week average. I can't stand the thought of deleting any photos because as my vision for seeing spirit becomes stronger, I can go back over previous photos and find amazing spirit captures I missed before. It is easy to overlook anomalies the first time through. I usually thoroughly look over a photo 5 times, letting time pass between each look.

As I take photos with intention of capturing spirits (which helps!) and then look over them, I learn more what to look for, like for example colour changes, blurriness, or a certain sheen, which often indicates spirit.
