Yep, last night during a big event shoot I shot my 10000 photo on the K7

Am I shooting too much? working too much?

Have had it since August 15th... this is not very promising for the future..

I think that sounds just about right Nathan . I clicked 26000 of them in 9 months, so you get the trophy

I cant even imagine your post processing etc - You must have a very efficient workflow setup

If you nail the exposure and the composition while shooting post processing becomes a child's play. You just use batch processing and work done. Its all how much thought you put while exposing

The stick I got in the forum here (in a nice sense of the word of course :wink taught me a thing or two . It really got me thinking and I fine tuned my ways. Although I shoot with a DSLR still but I use it as a film body. Hence my signature below . I can now almost make every click count.

Not to say that I do not use machine gun features when its needed. Just recently had the need for it and made full use of it during a World surfing championship but even then I controlled it with detailed precision rather than just using it as a machine gun trigger and was quite happy with the results

Post processing is astonoshingly time consuming.

But amin is right, when one does so many shoots one after the other, the need to get correct exposure in camera is a must.

I think a good percentage of my shjots are 'machine gun' frames to show pentaxian friends how fast the camera is!!!!!!!

and they said film technique was a thing of the past!

Nice to hear you're taking more time and less wasted shots Amin.
