Good point. One of the reasons why *I* haven't got digital yet, is
that I can't see myself deleting any pictures at all...
For some people though, the fact that digital photos are essentially
"free" (after the purchase of equipment) tends to make them snap far
more frames than might be reasonable - resulting in, perhaps, far
more "throwaway"
Actually, I don't believe for one moment that digital photos are
generally free, either (as I've mentioned before.) I just have too much
experience with management of large amounts of data for that. What can
be said, is that what you decide to throw away, is free. So like I said
(more or less), if I had thought that I would want to delete a lot of
images, I would have got a digital camera a long time ago...
frames than might have been taken in the more- cautious "film mode of
use".
Especially if one has the multi-frame feature enabled. bang-bang-
bang-bang-bang-bang can result in a quick sequence of 3-10 frames,
only some of which (or none of which?) are usable.
As has been pointed out by other people on this list earlier, some
experience with the more careful planning normally associated with film,
is probably good for most photographers...
