Ending The Season In Pictures For 2005

Having Taken Over 5,000 Pictures Each Year In Both 35mm & Digital, Its Going To Be Different When I Do Not Use Any Film Anymore. I Have 50 Rolls Of Color Film That I Probably Should Be Using To Finish It Up. But, It Seemed Very Different Not Changing Rolls Of Film Every 24 or 25 Exposures And Looking To Make Sure That The Film Is Loaded On The Sprocket Right So It Doesn't Snap Off After The First Or Second Shot. I Have All Minolta Camera's Starting With My First New One Back In 1979 Which Was A XG-7, Then An XG-A, Then X-700, Then A Auto Focus 5xi, Then A Maxxum 5, Then I Purchased A Second 5xi That I Bought Used And Still Works Great. Then In January Of 2005 I Purchased A New Konica - Minolta 7D DSLR 6.3 Digital Which I Get A 3008 X 2000 Pixel Picture. This Is Super But, Uses A Lot Of Hard Drive And A 3 Hour Wait Time When Downloading A 1 GB Picture Card With 1223 Photos On It. I Am Now At Less Than 3.9 GBS Left On My Hard Drive And Time To Start Dumping Photos Onto CD's. This Is The Last Planned Event Till Probably Next May That I Will Be Taking Any Large Amount Of Pictures At.
