Sorting out Easter Photos

[kipper]

Well just sorting out all my photos that I've taken over the past month. Trying to prefix dates to the folders. Just came across my Easter Break (4 days) and noticed the size of the folder was 7.85gb of 1,727 NEFs. I think I'm clearly on track for my camera to disintegrate by the end of the year
Has anybody else got any tales of excessive shooting?

hmm this is exactly why i do a lot of harsh reviewing on the fly, think a lot about what i want to shoot, and resist the urge to just hammer out a bunch of photos when i really dont need to

i cant stand having to choose between 125 frames that are almost identical ::)

Yep, I've decided to do that aswell Darb. The last couple of outings I've been on I've only used two 512mb CF cards. Once I only used the one
In the past I was just doing the brute force method - take enough and one of them will be good. The biggest problem is finding out which one.

nah, force yourself to learn to take the good ones rather than rely on a hit rate

i susualy find if i do take a bunch that are similiar (if im unsure if ive got what i wanted..) .. that the first is usually the best, so i just try to trust my initial instinct
