Bellows Beach, Oahu
Yesterday we did a family portrait session for a family and went to Bellows Beach. During that one hour session I took over 1,000 photos. I would have taken more but I ran out of card space. (I’m sure someone has something to say about how that’s way too much and I’ll address that in a future blog post.)
I ALWAYS carry 40 gigs worth of cards on me when I shoot. Two 16 gig cards and an 8. I left one of my 16 gig cards in my card reader, which is in a box, sitting in storage in Maryland. When I went to switch cards I came to that sobering realization.
So my practical tip for today is:
Check how much card space you have before you start shooting.
I was shooting full size raw when I was using the first 16 gig card and when I changed to the 8, I switched down to small raw. If I was shooting small raw on the first card I could have gotten a lot more photos.
How many cards do you have and what size? What is the total amount of space you carry when you go out to shoot?
