I stopped shooting my DSLR because I would get overwhelmed by the number of bad to mediocre pictures I have to sort through. I can take thousands of pictures, and one or two is worth keeping if that. Feels demoralizing.

But on film, most bad or mediocre shots are ones I never take, because I realize it's not worth the film. On a roll of 36 exposures, I get at least 4-6 good shots I like and want to keep, which is a way better "hitrate" than digital.

I like the idea of treating SD cards like film. I've done the same, except I haven't managed to fill my first 64GB card.

    I filled one and a half just at pride on saturday/sunday, and i agree its alot of mediocre or just straight bad pictures that i have to sort through. Although i think it gives a good insight on my progress, ill take less bad shots over time. Hopefully 😂

    The sd card thing is neat, but buying smaller cards turns out to be MORE expensive nowadays. I wanted to go even smaller, like 32 or 16, but they were more expensive than 64 which in turn is more expensive than 128! 😅

    I mean who would want tiny cards nowadays i guess but it is a bit frustratinz
