It doesn't seem to reflect any discernable improvement in many cases, based on the images posted to the PAW, PESO, and PUG. The good photogs are still good, and the poor photogs are still struggling even after 5,000 images. ============ 1. The thrill of not worrying about "burning" film. You can take and take pictures and not worry about wasting film. I think that is a BIG part of it. The sense of relief.
2. How is bragging about how many frames one shot different all that different than bragging about having a long lens (big glass)? Or bragging about how enabled one is? How many lenses one has? Or bragging that one uses only mechanical cameras? ;-) Or mainly mechanical? Or that they take most of their shots the "old-fashioned way" with a 50mm? Or that one never uses consumer zooms? (The last three are becoming less of bragging points than they once were, of course) Photography, like fishing, and lots of other things, just naturally leads to some bragging, me thinks.
