How Many pictures do you take?

[jenseib]

We leave next Sunday. We won't arrive till Sunday evening, but plan to spend the evening, form 8 or so till close at MK. We have 3 full days of parks after that. How many pictures does one take typically. I wnat a picture of everything, so if I remember, I will be taking pics of food and the hotel, the room, etc!! I do have digital camera, so I can dlete the bad ones, But I jsut don't know if I should go buy another card or not? I have a 1G card. And then a 516 MB I think, and a 128MB I think. I know it's alot of pictures, but will it be enough. I have only maxed the lowest card once. I think I had close to 100 pictures on it then.

Last couple of times I've been I took around 500 pictures each time.

Im interested in this question as well. I have a 128 mb right now but am planning on getting atleast a 1 gb.

I find I take fewer pics each trip. If this is your first trip, plan on 500. I think everyone goes nuts taking pics of every attraction, whereas on subsequent trips there are more pics of people because let's face it...ToT looks the same now as it did in 2002.

I think I take about 75-100 per trip now.

This isn't my first trip. I have been there, but it is about 8 or 9 years since I went. And this is my first trip with my DH and our DD2. We have never stayed onsite, so I want to be sure to get lots of the hotel too. I actaully have gone back and looked at my old pictures and I am mad that I didn't take anymore than I did. Only a couple of rolls each time.
I should have enough memory then. If not, I guess we could run to Walmart and get another card.

I take about 500 to 700 pictures each trip. But im like that with everything,Inever go anywhere with out my camera,my family thinks im crazy!
have fun.

 

[dreamalittledream]

I took 850 in 12 days but there were quite a few of the back of DD2's head (she is too darn quick)

and I have 90 on Photopass

can you download them? I know you used to be able to go to the photo place in Epcot and have a CD made. Or you could take it off site, walmart or wallgreens.

 

[jenseib]

Thats true. I have never done it that way before, but I could, if I use them up. I usually upload them to a site and purchase them that way. Which, BTW, I have dial up, so it takes forever!

I may be the extreme, but on our last trip I took 500 digital, 10 rolls of film and had a Photopass with 360. This was our first trip, DH and my anniversary, my sister met us from New Mexico and DS's 2nd birthday. However, I am quite the shutterbug! And I did scrapbook almost all of them- 3 books and 1 small one for the autographs- it was so much fun!

i take about 150 per day.

 

[reeeoga]

Last trip I had 2 128 mB cards usig a 5MP camera. I took between 25 and 40 pictures per day. I then stored them on my Laptop.

My new Camera has a 1 GB card that can hold 270 pictures with the 7.3 MP set at max resolution.

IF you take 40 pictures per day for 4 days with a 7.3 MP camera set on max, you do not need to get another card, but you may need to switch to the 512 card.

When we go any where that we know we won't be going back to any time soon, we take as many pictures as possible.

 

[Ricky's Girl]

My dh averages 100 to 150 pix a day. Then he downloads them to our laptop at night. With your little one i'm sure you'll want tons of photos of her with the characters.

 

[aroyer]

We had a 1 GB and a 512 memory cards. We uploaded twice, I think. We ended up with around 700 pictures. It was not my first trip, but my kids first.

 

[loopner67]

Wow, you guys make me feel so much better. I thought I took wayyyy too many pictures at Disney - last trip I was close to 400 and I made 85 scrapbook pages, which needed two big full albums.

I can't see how 1G wouldn't be enough as well as having the other memory cards. I plan on bringing less memory cards than that and I had enough last trip.

Happy Picture Taking!

Our last trip we took about 4000, plust about 200 photopass.
Here is my advice, we had two cares, you can make a cd in the parks, they will do it for you, it took about 10 minutes, and I wish we had done it more than we did, we only did it once. Long story short, we got home, I was very overwhelmed by pictures, between photopass, one CD disney burned for us, two full cards,and we traveled with friends who took just as many, I was overwhelmed. We took on memory card to CVS to put on a cd (just got digital, and we were having a hard time doing it on our computer), THEY LOST IT!!!!!!!! Over 1000 pictures, GONE! Including two out of my three girls REAL birthdays celebrated down at disney, GONE FOREVER!! I still cry about it, so PLEASE, be careful, I would hate for someone else to ever have that happen to them. I will always put them directly on my computer, or have disney make CDs while we are there, one of those things I will regret forever!

OK, call me dumb, but what is photopass?

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

Photopass is a little card you get the first time you get your pic taken by a WDW photographer. They are EVERYWHERE these days. Any time you get a pic taken you give them the pass. You can view them from home online or at the parks. You can buy a CD of all of your pics for something like $120 or $130, or order them individually for $13 a piece.

This is going to sound more harsh than I intend, but for the people who take thousands of pics on a trip...are you really living in and experiencing the moment if your whole trip is spent trying to capture every detail for posterity?

 

[macmahony]

yes, we 100% live in the moment, my husband and I both love taking pictures, we almost never use the video camera, we would both rather the still, with digital, we take many many more pictures than we used to. We take pictures of everything, and every moment, even at home.
We were outside in the snow yesterday and blew over 150 pictures in a hour.

And really, if for you that is not living in the moment, don't do it, but do you really care what we do on vacation.
We were there over 2 weeks, I think 4000 is not a lot, and there are points where I wish we had taken more

Nope, I don't. It was a question and you don't have to get snotty.
