way too much :)
9430 as of this writing :) It does a lot if you have two digital cameras, two parents interested in photography, and a baby. ;)
way too much :)
It really is the Baby that makes the difference. I ended up shooting about 1000 photos of the baby in 4 months. And I used to be the one making fun of all the photo-crazy daddies around...
way too much :)
It's the first kid that makes the big difference...
way too much :)
Or maybe the parents know what to photos of, so they take better, but fewer shots?
way too much :)
I have about 4500 photo's. I try to be really selective on what I keep around.
Suggestion
This results graph (and others of this type) would be more interesting if you ordered the items numerically (i.e., 0-500 first, followed by 501-1000, 1001-1500, and so on). Grouping them in order of popularity makes it less clear where the highest density of responses lies.
Suggestion
Sorry, that's how the code works ... when it's done, maybe I'll sort it that way in Excel just to see how it looks...
Management
A very interesting addition to this sort of poll would be a corollary vote on database(s) used to manage collective images. This has very likely been debated and gathered in the hints here and there, but seems particularly apropos in this situation. FWIW, I use iView Media Pro (v2.5) at home to manage somewhere around 8,000 files.
What about network storage?
While I use my iBook for 90% of my photo editing, the 2000+ images themselves are stored on a Win-server for access by my wife's PC and a web server - I only have about 100 stored "locally" (for screensaver slideshows, mostly). I'll wager a number of users share their photos over a network, or use some form of external storage so the photos can be accessed by others (be they Mac users or not).
Or archived?
I'm in the same camp, more or less. I keep only photos on my computer for "gallery" purposes: because they're especially good (IMHO) or my kids are looking especially cute, etc. Most pictures are thrown on to CDs, labeled, and archived.
Too Many...
18715 and counting..... 4 years, 4 cameras, 2 kids. I really need to learn to be more particular with what I keep.
Do downloaded pictures count?
500-999 not including massive porn collection
Why throw any away?
Over 2 1/2 years with a digital camera, total photos = 25,326 not including the 30 or so I shot today. I use iPhoto locally and Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) on the website to share and print. I use iPhoto to Gallery (http://zwily.com/iphoto/) to make the two live nicely together [Thanks to macosxhints.com for helping me find those last two apps!]. A waterproof enclosure has expanded my shooting terrain to the other 70% of the earth's surface. Time to sell your Kodak shares!
Why throw any away?
I was (and still am) a Gallerie fan, but I discovered JAlbum ( http://jalbum.net/ ) which is a bit slow (java) but quite incredible when it comes to possibilities (and hierarchy of directories transformed into a hierarchy of photo album) and available templates (there exist web sites dedicated to Jalbum template !)
Don't know how many.
I've got 3.5 years worth of digital photos in my Nikon Pics Folder which is 3GB in size. But I don't know how to count the number of photos in that folder. Help.
Don't know how many.
In the terminal, go to the folder where your pictures are, and type:
You can also be specific (don't leave out the quotes):
I'm assuming you have Fink installed. The OSX find doesn't support the -type or -name parameters. If OSX find is all you have, use:
But this will give you a count of everything in the folder. All files and folders, including the Finder's .DS_Store files.
Don't know how many.
without fink...
