In my film days I would probably have come back from a trip this long with, say, 20 rolls of film with 37-38 images per roll, i.e. about 750 images in total. So while I do shoot somewhat more now that the marginal cost of each image is zero, the increase is not that huge. Certainly I am not just walking around and firing the shutter at random. What digital does give me is much more freedom to try marginal light (and BTW, I never delete images in camera, everything gets looked at on the computer) and to be free from the concern that I have the wrong film in the camera. I shoot exclusively RAW, so all my images are in colour when they first arrive on the hard disk of my computer. I convert to B&W (using the Fred Miranda plugin) either because I think the image works better in B&W or because the light is truly horrible (e.g. flourescent mixed with something else) and I am generally too lazy to fiddle with colour temperature in Photoshop--much easier just to get rid of the colour altogether. Again, thanks for looking! Nathan Didier Ludwig wrote: > Nathan, > > 1000 pictures? Is this the digital progress :-) ?...
