Lesson Learned: Get More Memory Cards

You can never have too much memory. I have a 12+ MP camera and I shoot RAW. I own two 4 GB CompactFlash cards, so I can fit a total of around 500 photos. This is usually enough for most situations, but not always. During the Stymie & the Pimp Jones Love Orchestra gig, I ran out of memory a few times, so I was forced to delete photos directly off my camera and that sucked. While there's a histogram to help me weed out the underexposed or blown out photos, finding the badly focused shots was very difficult on the LCD screen (even the 3" screen was too small). Here are some photos that I thought were in focus. I hope I didn't delete properly focused ones in place of these! Photo info: 52.5mm focal length, 1/60 sec, f/2, ISO 200, auto flash power with -3 EV flash compensation, 14 mm flash zoom through diffuser, flash mounted on camera pointed forward at 60 degrees, 9:16 pm Photo info: 52.5mm focal length, 1/40 sec, f/2, ISO 6400, 12:03 am Denouement: I ordered three 4 GB cards yesterday and they arrive next week :-)
