[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rolleiman [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by modlerbob I switched to digital photography back about 8 years ago and never looked back. When I had my 35mm SLR it took months to expose a roll of film (except on special occasions) or I had to waste half a roll of film to get what I wanted developed immediately. Probably half the photos that got developed turned out to be of little or no use. I still have some old rolls of film that never got developed and I have no idea of what the shots were. [/quote] I'm not going to knock anybody for choosing one over the other, it's a matter of personal choice as far as I'm concerned. I've always found it odd however, that someone (not picking on you personally modlerbob, as I've seen this argument 1000s of times over the years), who couldn't fill a roll of at most 36 exposures, in less than 'months' will shoot 40, 50, or more pictures with a digital in less than a day. That's just to pick some numbers that I don't think would be too uncommon. [/quote] I think my frequency and amount of shutter clicks has remained about the same. Sure when I go on a railfanning trip or to a model show I may click the shutter a hundred times over a weekend. During the time between these events I may see something and shoot four or five pictures over a several month period. When I had film to factor in I probably skipped taking some shots that I now have no reservation about, after all if one turns out badly all I have to do is delete it and I have only wasted a little battery power. If I go to a friends house, assuming I have my camera with me, and we decide to do a little operating on his layout I can get some nice shots of my models on his layout and after going home I can transfer them to my computer and send him copies via e-mail.
