But as you say, the reason I'm into photography is to shoot pics and learn. I'm starting now to be more objective in the shots I take, and of corase that means i'm taking less shots on each outing. I use it mostly for straightning pics I take on the water and it's very useful for those.

The cropping tool is different from any other crop tool I've used. I struggle cropping pics and enlarging them. There's still features and ajustments I have'nt learned to use like HDR. Yep, many Pics I would normally delete are saved through DPP. I'm starting to keep even more, that I use to delete because of Post Ed.

I'm just getting above the 1/2 way point of more keeper's, than throw aways. No matter how well I take my shots there's always a few I don't like for 1 reason or another. The 3 day Jazz Fest, among some others are keepers, though I still deleted many of the bad ones. I gotta admit, most of them I deleted, although I have kept a small amount as keepers. trying different adjustments in my camera. Then shots to test different lens, lighting, different situations, and trying new things. Alot of shots were at 1st just practice getting to know and getting the feel of the camera. But I have taken shots I won't be shooting as much anymore, as I get better. I would'nt say I take shots thoughtlessly, just banging away. If, after a shoot, you find yourself wishing you'd taken more shots, the fact that your shutter may last a little longer will be small consolation. So if you have time to process what you take, and you have a sensible 'keeper' ratio, you're probably better off not messing with what works.

Even if shutter life weren't a consideration, a large volume of images is a lot more work to process.īut the reason you own a camera is to take pictures. There's always a drawback to just thoughtlessly banging away.
