Back in the 80's when I was trying to make a living with my cameras, I
expected to get 1 great shot out of 12 and that all 12 would be salable
(Which is why I hated weddings there were always duds that were not the
photographer's fault, often of critical shots. However, I think
successful wedding photographers were far more controlling than I was
comfortable with). I wonder what the ratio out there is now in this
digital age.

And of that total number, on how many was the person behind the lens
actually *trying* to create a 'very good photograph' versus just
taking a photo?

I disagree. I think the quality bar has been lowered and that, while
there
are many good images out there, they are good relative to most of the
crap
we see, and there are fewer very good photographs.
