Please don't take this post "the wrong way" but I suspect it may be susceptible to that interpretation.
Many many years ago, I attended a lecture by portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh. One of the basic pieces of advice he doled out that evening was "Never show your discards."
Having come from that dark ages of exposing film emulsion to light and then working hours under safelights and long hours of inhaling Dektol and indicator stop bath fumes to get just a few images "right" it has somewhat spoiled my enjoyment of "snapshots" whether taken on a megapixel cell phone camera or DSLR.
I hope you take the time and learn to enjoy mastering the art of putting light on silicon and the related arts of composition, theme and visual messaging. It all starts with the eye and brain, the equipment typically just gets in the way.
