You're not deprived, Brian - But we're talking/arguing here about very
different kinds of shooting for very different purposes. During the
years when I was just shooting for myself, I was probably shooting the
way you do. And if someone is primarily shooting landscapes, general
scenes, etc., a roll in a day might well be allot.
And btw, I'm not saying that on every shoot I go through that many
frames - it all depends on what's going on, how many people are
involved, and what I'm trying to get.

Hi folks,
I find the talk about 1,000 shots etc in a day somewhat amazing. I can
imagine some people doing that; but not me. Having 1/8th Scots blood in
my veins is enough to deter such extravagance.
I quick count-up shows that in the 40 years I have been using a 35mm
camera, I have shot less than 200 rolls of slide film, less than 200
rolls of
print film, and probably less than 50 rolls of B&W.
If I blast off 12 - 20 shots in an episode of 1/2 to 2 hours, that seems
like a
lot.
And I don't feel at all deprived, photographically speaking.
Brian
