Love the ‘OCD’ tag. I especially love that it is listed twice!! 🙂

Did you find that stopping to take photos along the way helped or hurt? I can just see you getting ‘in the zone’ on something like this.

Actually, Jeremy, it’s filed under the category ‘OCD’ and also tagged ‘OCD.’ 😉
Stopping to take photos along the way helped my OCD. It made the process take a bit longer which, incidentally, made me quite late for Rebel XT class. Sadly, though, I didn’t miss much. The class was pretty disappointing. The best take-away was that I need to reformat my card after every download.

Curious about the reformat thing. What was their reasoning for that? I upload images onto my PC as needed, but I don’t format my card every time. I usually let enough images pile up on my card until there are enough images to (nearly) fill a CDR. Load the CDR. Check it. Check it again. Back up my entire “My Pictures” directory to an external HD. Check it. Check it again. (OCD?) THEN format the card. That way, I have redundancy with all images in at least 3 separate storage devices at all times.

I’m not sure this is the best explanation, but as I understand it, when your computer deletes the photos on your card, it doesn’t delete everything associated with each photo. There are files that the camera creates that the software doesn’t touch. I think of it kind of like the old-school rechargeable batteries–they had a memory and would hold less and less of a charge unless you totally drained it before recharging.
Here’s a little test you can try: look at the available memory on your card after you’d just deleted the photos. Now try reformatting the card and see if it frees up any extra space.

Lemme correct what I said earlier–I don’t need to reformat after *every* download, but it is good to do it frequently. I *do* reformat after every download, though, because reformatting is simply much faster.
