Help answer this question below.
I download them in to my computer and go over the picts. The ones I eliminate are the out of focus ones...or the ones accidentally taken of the ground, sky, my leg etc....I burn them on to disc after sending out different ones to different people in my life who would appreciate them .....
depends on what was taken and how good the quality. many are deleted before ever coming off the camera. some get deleted soon after I download them and the rest are either placed on disk or taken to my photo lab.
I keep them, unless they're out of focus or just plain lousy.
Ultimately, I clean photos off the camera SD card after I've saved them to my computer and burned them to a disk.
One of my best photos, was an I almost didn't take. And then, it didn't become good until I cropped the photo to concentrate on a statue.
I like to print them and put them in an album, then delete them.
I save ALL of them, unless they are obviously unusable due to being extremely blurry or blown out. I do a lot of freelance/hobby digital illustration, and I like to have a well-stocked scrap file of images for any conceivable purpose. In fact, I just installed a 180 GB secondary hard drive as a dedicated storage location for all my work and photos because, yeah, they do take up quite a bit of space. :)
I delete many of them, as they take valuable space on my PC's hard drive which is not too big. I also save many of those on CDs for the same reason.
I delete some that are obviously blurred. Other than that, I pretty much keep everything, since storage space is so darned cheap.
I only print the ones I want/need at the moment.
I'm the kind of guy who tends to copy everything over onto computer/disk/backup drives and re-use the mamory card. My wife will copy things onto computer, but NOT delete them from the memory card. She'll put the card up and buy another one.

You're reading When you take pix with your digital camera, do you keep ALL the pictures you take, delete some on the camera, delete some after you download them, or do you print them and delete them all?

Good idea... I tend to save even the out-of-focus and strange shots, though... I do web-design, and sometimes there are patterns that might make a good background.
Thanks, Teri ;-)

I have come across pictures I have taken and tied to decipher what it is...then I figure out is the fold of my leg under me or something bizarre but I guess some would call it artistic if I frame it....;)...

LOL... Funny how that works out, huh? Some people get "bad" pictures... Others frame the same picture and make a mint! ;-)
