Quote:of course you understand those are not all landscape photos, many are covered events and there are several weddings a full wedding is at least 2000-3000 shots.
... so what you are actually doing with all these shots then?

a typical wedding here that's at least 500 prints

I still need to sort out the photos from my honeymoon trip from 2007!

 

 
 

Yes. I shoot more than I can post-process (the problem not being really in image post-processing, that's fine, but in culling, tagging, archiving). Anyway: that's good for filling rainy days! <_<

You only have to post process images you are actually going to do something with...

That's the problem: culling. Because in some circumstances I shot many variants and it takes time to pick the best one. Post-processing is not a problem, because these variants mostly share the same post-processing settings (so I can work on one and then copy-paste the settings to others).
I've only had 1 shutter ever fail. It was on an Oly Om-G (OMG!). I suspect this was more of a defect driven failure than use.

believe it or not my only shutter failure was on film camera

Since we're at the subject... Any up-to-date tips on how to verify the shutter count on recent cameras? (that Chinese utility doesn't work for me Smile)
Hum... thanks but neither seems to work with the images from the Canon cameras I have access to (my 1D Mark IV or the wife's 650D). However, I did learn along the way that my wife's old Sony NEX camera had 125514 shutter actuations - and I was wondering why it's so battered. Smile
