Did you take that one because you felt pressure to take a photo?

The old 8GB memory card I use is enough for about 300 raw files.

I frequently go on a hike, and not-infrequently don't take any photos even though I carried camera equipment with me.

otoh if I take 100 I won't know how they turned out until I process the raw files, sometime in the coming months. (I do move them to a computer and rename them asap to limit accidental loss.)

There's something very freeing about having the space to experiment and learn and play, at minimal expense.



> rename them asap to limit accidental loss

That's to say, I have a script which simply renames the files

    YYYYMMDD-SEQUENCE_NUMBER
where YYYYMMDD is the day the rename was done.
