Just curious... what's the most number of photos you've ever taken in a single day?
Yesterday I was shooting from 7:30am until 8:30pm at a soccer tournament with most teams from Utah, but some as far away as Calgary, Canada.
Total shots for the day? 4,355!
So how many pictures have you taken in a single day? |

| Holy cow! The most number of shots I ever took in a day was 768 and it was a nightmare trying to go through and weed them out and edit them. Good luck to you with over 4000! |

I think the most I have taken is in the 100 range.

The most I've taken in a day was around 2000. If you want to count all my equipment and the number of photos I have to edit then I've had a 3 photographer team take between 2000 & 3000 images during a 2-ceremony day. We normally shoot less but the 2nd wedding was in a LARGE venue and we were already tired so I don't think everyone was picking their shots since we had enough storage to whatever we wanted.

heh. I love cameras that use AA batteries. I took almost 400 the other day when they had a snowboard/ski jump competition in downtown taipei in the middle of the day in the middle of summer at 37 degrees Celsius. Shot from 11:00am through to 8:00pm. What an amazing learning experience it was.
I had a red outline of a camera burned into my face and my arms were burned on the wrong sides :) Lesson number 1: You CAN get a sunburn through heavy smog... Sunscreen works better on skin than it does in a bag :)
I shot around 650 at a graduation show for my sister's school on two different cameras.
I still haven't got around to post processing and posting them online yet :(

4335? Darn, you're going to be doing selects for a week!
The biggest day I've had recently was two netball games, a rugby match, and then a dinner/formal event. 1200 or so shots on the Saturday, and I had a deadline for the sports stuff 8am Monday.
I didn't go to bed at all Saturday night, and got the sports captioned and named, then spent most of Sunday doing selects and proofs for the formal event and had the proofs online for sale on Monday morning as well..
Oddly enough, I called in sick for my _real_ job on the Monday, and was late Tuesday!
I hope you've got someone else to help you with the select/proof process for that lot!
Cheers, Chris H.

Up until 2 weeks ago... the most I had ever done was just over 1,000 for a wedding. And even at that, there were two of us (my daughter and I... she helped out with the candids).
I'm still discovering the enormity of 4355 pictures... it takes forever to copy them anywhere. I needed 2 DVDs to hold them all. ACDSee keeps crashing when I try to rotate more than about 400 of them at a time. (they were all shot vertical)
Yikes.... and proofing/selecting? I had hoped to do that last night but went to bed instead!!! |

Man...4k in a day is a lot. I know when I go on vacation, I'm going to have a bunch of different things to shoot...I'm going to make folders on my CF card, one for the wedding, one for the beach stuff, and maybe something else -- then just go through them all seperately.
Out of 4k shots...I'd say when flipping through them, the shot better jump out and say I AM PERFECT or it's onto the next. Imagine shooting all those in RAW :(

You took over a picture every 12 seconds for 13 hours?! Holy damn.
My most ever - 2100 in one day, WITH my partner's 800 in the same day = almost 3000 for a wedding.

I think the most for me was about 200 or so in a day. I did however shoot about 200 phantom pics in one day with my 350D and when I got home I found out I didn't have the CF-Card inserted. I set the camera not to take pictures without the card after that. lol

Hehe. No, spacing wasn't nearly so even... burst mode will work wonders for filling up a memory card. There were only a couple of times where I shot until burst memory filled and then had to stop. But, man, that's a lot of pictures!
Today's shoot was a little shorter... only 3500 pictures. I'm still loading them onto the computer right this moment.

Nothing close to that... ever! A few hundred, maybe 400 in a day.

Most I've taken is about 450. It took me a week to go through them all and process the ones I selected. I can't imagine 10x that amount! GOOD LUCK! :-)

I thought my best of 450 in a 2 hour surf trip was a good effort. Actually, what burns up shots for me is rapid-fire for action sports photos. If I had a camera that ran unlimited 8fps, I'd easily take 10x the number of shots! :)

| 3874 was my biggest. I will never do this again. It was also at a soccer tournament and the post processing sucked! I will stick to around 700 a day. |

I think the most I shot was over 800 shots working six hours at a local jazz festival. I have started being more seelctive now though, since I am approaching 10,000 shutter activatons and i want to make the old 300D last as long as possible before the shutter lets go.
