Picture Overload

Make sure you’re sitting down when you read this…. I gathered all my pictures together tonight in one folder. I used two different cameras when in Poland. For a small camera, I used my Canon Powershot SD 550.  It’s a small camera that fits in my pocket easily. I used that when I didn’t want to carry a lot or look like a tourist, and used it from the bus to get some shots of the countryside through the window. It can (and did) also take AVI’s–movies. For a large camera, I used my Nikon D40x, a digital SLR. It takes larger pictures but is much more adjustable and also can take many shots in a row.

I downloaded the pictures from the camera and SD cards. I filled 2 8GB card and started on a third with the Nikon. And with the Canon I filled a 1 GB, a 2 GB, and had a fairly full 1 GB.

So the total damages? About 21 GB or about 7,000 photos. Yes, you heard right, about 7,000. Now some of those will certainly not turn out, expecially through the bus windows. And in many cases wiht the DSLR, I took multiple shots of something with varying exposures. So there are a lot of duplicates. But still, I took a lot of photos. Look for me to begin posting some within a few days, I hope…. When I do, I’ll put a link here so you can find them!
