[QUOTE="STM, post: 309642, member: 12827"] In the days when film was the only show in town, photographers were much more selective in their shooting. One, because at most you had 36 exposures per roll (I can get 40 on a single roll when I load my own but you need a very short leader) but with[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] digital and a card with a lot of storage capacity, you have much more in the way of shots and do not have to worry about the costs of processing.
