What's your Image Index

Postby Dargan on Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:49 pm

In an effort to create a benchmark for my photographic efforts and measure my efficiency in using the D70, I have done the following. I have been a member of D70 and now DSLR Users for 530 days (Oct 1 2004)and have taken 7,700 shutter actuations with the camera. This gives me a daily measure to compare my efforts to. Mine is 14.53 per day.

Why is this useful? (Must be the economist in me!) :agree:

It can act as yardstick to measure weekly output.
It can act as a reward to see your average exposures climbing.
It can act as an incentive if you see averages declining to get that camera and get out there and take pictures.

My other index is days as a member and posts :oops:

For me 395/530 not so good (.75 per day), but for Birddog astronomical! :D :D

I can't work out how to do a poll for this, ie 0-5, 6-10, 11-15,16-20, 20+ so if anyone can do this and automate this process, I think it would be kinda useful info for the community.
In the end we know Nothing, but in the meantime Learn like crazy.

Hmm, I've had a digital camera of some sort for about 6 years (first one 23/3/2000), and kept roughly 65k photos in that time (there are 70966 files in my archive directory but that includes working directories so some are dupes). So, 2191 days, about 27 photos per day.

Posts... I'm currently off work with a broken collarbone so I'm posting a lot and taking very few photos (I've had a brand new 30D for almost a month and taken barely 500 photos on it). Hence the lack of action on my website...
