Most you've ever shot..

In one month, both in days and gb's (or rolls of film) and approximately how many total shots.

I topped 60gb shooting totaling 13,700 photographs in June '08, over 17 days of shooting. Whew, I need more hard drives! Now for me, that's the most I've shot in a month, but only slightly. I shot about 10,500 photos in 19 days on a roadtrip in '06. To be fair though, I was not shooting RAW at the time, and I was bracketing the hell out of everything, so maybe I only took three or four thousand different scenes.

Also, 90% of this past month's shooting was for Le Poisson Rouge, the concert venue I work for. I really didn't have time to do personal work, but if I did, 8-12 days and maybe 6 or 7,000 shots would be my norm.

Looking forward to hearing ya'lls totals!

I will play.

In a month, probly 25 days of shooting at least one assignment a day, often doing three to five. Including the meat and bones of the sport season, press in general and a private event or two on the side, probably 40Gb of total memory used, on an average say 5-10 covers a month (towards 5), and about 60-70 total published images. Clicks? I'd say about 10-12k per month or so.

Hope this helps. Very subjective numbers, but I am trying to picture the entire situation.

I shot a 2 day track day with over 100 cars. The total was 17,000. Not on my equipment of course.

I averaged 120 shots per day in 2007.

This does not inlude shots that were deleted on camera or after download to PC.

My 500GB HDD is almost full, so I will be getting two 1TB ones this week (one for backup).

Yea I didn't even think about the ones I delete on camera. For some reason though, once a photo is on my computer, I CANT DELETE IT!! Unless its out of focus or blurry, it stays, because you never ever know down the road, and since it's digital it doesn't take up "space" that is in your house.

December last year i shot 30 shows at around 2gb each show, so thats like 60 gigs? I think I did some personal shooting in that time too but it wouldnt of been over a gig so it doesnt really make a difference.

Assuming you shot for 12 hours per day, thats 1.1 frames per minute.


Yes, I'm bored.

hahahaha. Was that for June 08 or for my road trip, those figures? There's no way I shot 12 hours a day this past June, more like 3 on average, so thats 4.4 frames per minute.

Earlier this year there was a national gymnastics meet in town with roughly 3000 competitors. I worked 12 hours a day for three days taking only 10 to 15 shots of each girl, a single shot at a time, no rapid fire. I ended up with just under 6000 shots. This didn't include the ones I deleted in camera.

Phil, that's 30,000 to 45,000 frames!!! And that's 20 clicks a minute btw. How's the finger?

I forgot where I was at for a second...

But at the height of my everyday compact camera photography (January 2006 - present), the biggest month i ever had was August 2006 at 4059 pictures (2.65 GB). That was with the PowerShot A400 and our family was in Glacier National Park, so there was of course a ton of photos to take.

For actual GB, the most would have to be February 2007 with 3801 pictures (2.88 GB) on my Nikon. In June, I shot 378 on my 20D (1.20 GB), but the 736 pictures raw count on my Nikon is just under a gig and can't match Feb 07's count.

OK. I'll play too. I shoot Cheer and Dance competitions. The most competitions I have ever done in a month is 3. The events are usually 2 day events and I take an average of 20,000 photos per event so that would make 60,000 as the most in a month. I have had one event that I took 25,000 shots in 2 days.

1200 images over two days at an air show... Last year, after culling, I ended up with 1000 images over four days.

NO!!! I didn't shoot ALL of them ... I only took 6000 shots total. There were probably at least 15 photographers covering the event. At any given time there could be as many as 15-25 kids competing simultaneously on different events and in different assembly halls in the convention center. I believe when all was said and done, over 75,000 shots had been taken and uploaded and available for purchase. Sorry for being unclear.

So I guess my 17k in 2 days still beats everybody...
