On average i shoot anywhere between 400-900 images a day, but i am also doing freelance news work for the AP, and unlike you average point and shoot shutterbug most of my photos are professional, i just put a sony camera in its grave and i had it for 9 months with actuations around 125,000

When I am doing modeling photography I shoot anywhere between 400-600 shots per shoot, most never see the light of day but well

On a recent mill explosion i covered i shot somewhere between 1200-1600 before the fire was completely out, and the demo which happened over 2 days later was around 1000 for two days work!

I think i get so many pics because i get paid so much for them (AP pays on average 300-500 a picture!)

Hope this helps

In the past year I average pretty close to 200 shots a week. My record for a single day is around 630 shots.
I hope I can keep close to 200/wk. or I haven’t picked up the camera enough that week. :)

I average about 500-600 a week. Maybe 20-30 keepers a YEAR. “Keepers” meaning stuff I would be really proud to print in a book, etc. Other stuff I have started deleting if it’s not perfect in my eyes.

Generally on a full days shoot I would take between 400 – 800 shots. I do auto bracket quite a bit so some of those would be duplicates. The most I have ever shot is probably 1500 in a day whilst travelling..

Hmmm… Well, during the holidays/event season, probably a couple thousand a week. When I go out for a day of shooting for the purpose of it, probably 600-700?

It really ranges, but since May 2001 when I got my very first digital camera, I’ve probably taken about 200,000 total. Maybe more.

I have two GREAT cameras, Canon S3IS (nt SLR) and Sony Ericcson K810i (mobile)… i used to take minimum 100 pictures everyday with both weapons for my stories… Because i am providing pics also for my stories in newspaper where i am workin. Hwever, i will get min 10 best pics (so called) everyday, my editor will pick 5 out of that ten and atlast one pic will publish along wit my story, always offbeat stuffs… Nw my dream is to buy a new DSLR which can shoot min 10pic at a second like a machine gun… Soon very sooon, hopefully i will buy that…

I take approximately 100+ a week. Mainly on the weekends. More on special days and vacations. Always looking for a different angles and out of the norm items.
