So avid readers (all three of you) may remember my one and only New Year’s Resolution from last year: to shoot 10,000 pictures.
Well, I fell a little short of that mark.
In checking I shot 2,211 images with the D80 until it was replaced with the D300 where I shot 4,239 images. The math astute among you will note that this totals a mere 6,450 images which is a hair less than 2007′s count of 6,545. Huh.
Ah but wait. On several occasions I got to shoot with gear on loan from my employer including a D2Hs and the vaunted D3 and according to my Aperture library, those bodies account for 425 images. By the way the Nikon D3, even for the short time I got to shoot with it, easily earned the title of Best Digital Camera Ever… in my humble opinion.
So if I did the 4-place addition right, that’s a grand total of 6,875 images, which is 330 images more than 2007 but well short of 10,000.
So… it still stands, 10,000 images in 2009.
Interesting concept. I never thought about tracking how many shots I shoot in a year. When we were shooting figure skating professionally, I rolled 30,000 photos in a 4 day period as I tried to average 25 photos per skater per 1:30 event. But the more advanced skaters would get closer to 80 photos in their 3:00 programs. But alas, that was then.
This is now. So I went to my hard drive to see if I could get a close estimation. The ending frame of a 12/30/07 model shoot was 5999. I ended this year at 6953. I’ve verified I didn’t roll over during the year, so for me, 10,954 frames shot.
I made your resolution for you
But since you want to do it. I suggest shooting models 
If you *didn’t* roll over, doesn’t that make it 954 frames?
Are you looking at EXIF “camera actuations” or something else. The camera actuations don’t roll over. 6953 seems low for you.
