20,000 frames

Tokyo, 2010.09.16

Rolled my (DSLR) camera over the frame counter again, which means I've now taken more than 20,000 photos on it.

It's taken me quite a while to grow to like the digital SLR, and I think it's only because I've now got the software to make the photos the way I want them. On the other hand, using a digital SLR has helped enormously in two respects.
1. I've learned a lot about exposure and flash photography that I wouldn't have learned with my film cameras at anything like the same speed and accuracy.
2. I've saved a LOT of money. All in, I figure I've spent $1500 on my entire kit including data cards and batteries. And yet, with 20,000 frames shot, that's 555 rolls of film that I would have shot. And at roughly $10 a roll for film and development, at 555 rolls I would have spent $5550. In other words, I've saved some $4000 by "going digital". That's over the course of four years.
