Poll: how many pictures have you taken so far in your lifetime?

[ChrisPlatt]

Chris ? Does this mean that at the end of this year you will be getting the roll developed ? 😉

Yep, it's Kodacolor X C135-36.
Know anybody who still does Process C-22? 😉

Your parameters don't go far enough . . . analog images last century? About 100,000 more or less. Quite a few digital, too.

I don't shoot as much these days because I"VE ALREADY DONE IT!

Well, I finally finished that roll of Christmas tree pics and guess what?
Whoops! I misloaded the film on the takeup spool, and so no pictures.
So I guess I am back to zero again... 😉

Coming up on 30,000 digital shots since 2004, a handful before that.
I stopped shooting film in about 2002, but started up again in a big way in 2006-2007. Since I started again, I've shot maybe 2000 exposures of film, in something like a 90/9/1% blend of 135/6x7/4x5.
My digital output is going down as I bring film cameras with me more and more often.

Edit: "Keepers?" I keep 90% of what I shoot, throwing out only the abjectly blurry shots. As for what I would pay to get printed, you're talking about 0.001%... 🙂

Ok ive done over 50k digital in the last 4 years before I shot I would guess around 100 films a year mostly Ilford HP5 and fuji400

Hard to estimate. At one point many years ago I estimated over 10,000 rolls of 35mm B&W and that was 25 years ago. Since I've shot less but would guess I've shot an additional 5,000 rolls of 35 and who knows how many 120 plus sheet film. 120 became my standard for about 25 years. During that time I shot atleast 300 rolls per month and some years I shot as much as 75 rolls per day one to three days a week. I totally wore out three Rollei SL66's a couple of Pentax MX's and two Nikon F4's. Since going all digital 7 years ago in the studio I know I've shot well over 200,000 frames total plus some film in the studio and a considerable number of rolls for the documentary work.

Good poll, get this...

I shot exactly 0 films in the last century! yep, and a couple hundreds of digital 2.1 megapixel images 🙂

Since last year, I've shot more than 1000 film frames and I plan to increase it. I just wish it's cheaper to do slide and b/w films nowadays.

Yeah, LOTS is a good answer.
I can say this though, I have six of those negative file boxes that are at maxium capacity, 35mm and 120.
I have probably tossed or lost about another three of those boxes full of slides or negatives.
