On average, how many photos do you shoot a day when at Disney? Sometimes I think I shoot way too much!

Lets see on my last trip to DL we went for 3 days and I took 500+ pics. It gets worse every trip LOL!
 
i read a serious article a while ago by a professional photographer sayin you should not take more than 5 photos per day!
 
Last trip I took an average of 330 pictures per day. I did a lot of bracketing and also took a pic of the same subject from different angles so that adds a lot. I also had a GREAT time doing it!!! :teeth:

:rotfl2:

So that means you can only meet 1 or 2 characters per day and have your picture taken with them, all the others you are only allowed autographs, and then get 1 or 2 pictures of the Castle/SSE/Tree of Life/Hat from only 1 angle and then have room for 1 or 2 other different pictures. Oh and don't bother going on the safari or walking though either of the Jungle treks at AK.
 
I'm averaging about 500 per day. I end up keeping about 25-50 per day.
 
Our last trip, I took about 360 pictures over the whole 8-day trip. But I wasn't feeling the love for my camera like I should.

Armed with an SLR and a DSLR for the next trip, I figure I'll take that many per day! Hmm, ten-day trip... all raw format... it'll take a few DVDs to back everything up. :)

52 days and counting... I thought I was finally ready on the photo front but now I have to buy another holster bag and I keep being tempted by the 50mm 1.4... arghhh!
 
The beauty of digital is that it doesn't cost you to take a bunch of experimental pictures. Maybe that's what the "pro" had a problem with. I really like the bracketing feature that most cameras have. Play around with working the subject, you be surprised what you might come up with. :thumbsup2

If I take my camera, then I'm using it!! Somewhere in the 200-500 range a day!
 
On my last trip I took between 300-500 per day. I noticed you didn't say, "How many GOOD pictures do you take in a day?" That number would be considerably lower!
 
When shooting film I was taking about 10-12 pics a day, and taking more time and effort to line them up and frame them properly to avoid wasting film.

Since I went digital I have been more careless, but I have been shooting as many as 100 pics per day at WDW.

I have been to other places recently and shot 150-200 pics in a single day, so my average at WDW might be on the increase on my next trip, too.
 
Wow. :eek: I'm such a weenie to vote for 25-50. It always seems like I'm taking a lot, but when I get home I'm like, "that's it?!?" :confused:
 
We were there for 8 days, 2 cameras-DSLR for DH, P&S for me, came home with 805 pictures....that makes.....50 a day, per person, per camera. And it was not enough, I can thinks of 100's we forgot to get. Looks like we'll have to go back!! :rotfl:
 
i was hoping to see a number higher then 300 LOL. i took 342 a day over 11 days last year. loved every minute. and it was my first ever trip with a digital camera. got to love the canon rebel XL.
 
On our 7 day trip, I had about 500 digital pics, one disposable camera and DD's princess camera with 12 35mm pictures. I ended up keeping about 450 printed out and in the album. Next time I plan to take lots more! I just want to know how to take time to frame great shots and enjoy my camera and also get to the rides and attractions!
 
The numbers in this poll are way too small -- unless you're just on a weekend trip! We can easily rack up 50-100 in a day. Last trip we got close to 200 just on our Photopass CD. Plus video (9 1/2 hour tapes) -- trying mini-CD for that this time -- so will probably do much more than we really need -- trying out new cam.
 
being not too fond of rides I take a "few"
5 days five gigs (raw files with 8 mp canon xt)
and I deleted the obviously bad pics

My last trip, it was about 100+ a day. This trip I have 4 2GB memory sticks (holding 820 per stick), 2 256MB sticks (holding about 100 pictures per stick) & 2 128 (holding 50 per stick). Total amount of photos: 3,580 (more if I get the chance to burn the photos on to cd-roms mid-trip). Average of about 398 pictures per day. Of course will have a camcorder & 4 120 minute tapes too.

I find one of the best souvies I have from a trip to WDW is the wonderful photos and videos I take.
 
I took 996 last time. I think the poll should be updated to include 250, 500, 1000, 200+. Almost everyone seems to take more than 100.

The poll is per day Scott, not per trip.
