freshmikes' camera.....

[suemack]

imo the camera is only one part of the team......the other - the more important part - is the person who is holding the camera and taking the photo

Chris ....your photos are magical......they are not only crisp and clear but show the personality and character of your fishy subjects too.........in other words.....they have soul

LMAO ... without the lens cap .... how risque!!

CAMERAS GONE WILD!!!

Now for the real dirt; How may photos do you trash before you get the good one? Being as hard-headed as I am, I have yet to enter the digital age. Something about it I just don't like yet. Maybe because I don't have any experence with it. I still use an SLR by Nikkormat (OLD OLD Nikon) and I can attest to shooting 6-7 rolls of film to end up with 1 or 2 photos in the lot worth looking at.

So, FM, how many bad ones to get the good one? And don't say none because no experenced photographer will believe that. (Even though we all want everyone else to believe it.)

Well.....let's see.....the other night I wanted to test the battery on the new cam, so I shot away....click, click, click......400 times!!! Filled a 256mb and a 128mb!!! <----(for you old guys....that's the "film" )

All I wanted to do was see if it could REALLY take 220 pics on one battery, like the kodak website boasted.....apparently they were wrong.....it took 400 and still had half the battery left even on the highest quality

........but, to answer your question, it depends on the day and who I am taking pictures of. On average I keep around 25% of the pictures....so no, I don't even close to claim that they are all good!

How about that BATTERY!!!!
