That sort of gets at one of the reasons I delete those extra images. Part of the reason I feel like they're "wasted" shutter actuations is that, dumb as it may sound, the extra shots just don't feel like "my" shots. Keeping them feels a little like taking a shortcut, and sort of encourages a spray-and-pray "ethic" if you will.

Of course, I gladly accept all my other happy accidents, so I guess there's no good reason not to keep the extras, just in case they turn out better than the intended ones.

But I urge you not to delete those extra shots.
