Living In The Future

It just hit me that ripping off 16 frames to get one so-so picture of a bat in flight is something that most people wouldn't have done back in the days of film.

First off, it's half a roll of film.

Second, only the pros had the motor drive to fire rapid fire like that.

Me?  It's only electrons and there's over 11k exposures on that 128gb card.

The battery will die long before I run out of storage.

That's kinda nifty.

    Way back when we were taking photos of dinosaurs, we thought that using a 36 exposure roll of 35 mm film was about as good as it could get for the amateur photographer.

    I bought my first digital camera and never looked back.

    That's the best part of digital cameras. The film and processing is cheaper than dirt.
