Digital BW, The Print

Truman,

With my D100 I can now do what we're always advised to do - bracket
exposures. I could never afford to 'waste' film on bracketing, but now
taking three exposures to be sure that one is right is no problem. Just
delete the duds at the end of the day. And I take more 'iffy' pictures that
might or might not come out, than I would have with film.

I only get 100 raw images on a 1GB card, so with bracketing that is only 33
pictures = 1 film. With images from a Canon 1Ds or Koday 14n you only get
about 27 images on a 1 GB card - 9 with bracketing!! If you save tiffs, you
get far less. Only with small jpegs do you get hundreds or thousands - if
you can put up with the quality loss.
