I think I prefer film cameras.

I'm well into my archive cull. It was 499 gigs. I think I'm at least half done. Looking at that many pictures, every day, for hours on end. Yesterday I thought I was getting an occular migraine. I swear, I'm not letting it go anther twenty years.
This is from September 2016. I took it with a Nikon F3. it's an old art deco movie theatre in Sacramento.

Another fabulous shot.

There is a quality to film photography which digital, for all its clever tricks, has just never managed to reproduce.

Thank you!
Another thing with digital, it's amazing the sheer volume of crap it can produce. Without the cost factor, lots of folks have little discipline. I remember a photo club meeting where this nice lady said she spent 45 days in the U.K. and came back with 15,000 images. That's an average of 20 images per hour per 16 hour day. Seven days a week. If one were to edit that mess, just the review time, at 2 seconds per image would take 8 hours and 20 minutes, nonstop. I know, I'm trying to quantify madness. :-)

Heh!

I admit, I used to sometimes go into a photographic frenzy when I came across a garden full of beautiful flowers. Although I might only take a few hundred shots, using exposure bracketing meant that I'd end with six hundred shots to review in Lightroom.

I'm a lot more restrained since I developed osteoarthritis in my thumbs. :-)
