It is a test of stamina and equipment while putting in twelve straight hours of snapping photos. My record for a one day outing is just over 400 images good enough to put online. Then the editing, even though I have a pretty streamlined system, takes more than an hour per hundred images.

One trick I use is to set the camera at low resolution but use full optical zoom and maybe some "smart" digital zoom. Then I try to keep the same settings throughout the shoot so that all of my photos at the end of the day are the same size - hopefully 640x480 pixels. I have some basic macros set up in Corel Photo-Paint that allow me to clean up, re-size, and create thumbnail images 50 to 100 photos at a time. Shooting at high resolution for purposes of posting online is foolish and wastes camera, storage, and editing time and recourses. Photos sold from my Website always end up online anyway. No one is making posters out of them.
