 I'm curious -- how many shots are the other people here taking, and of
what?

Since the beginning of the year:
  Flora macros:  Kodachrome 64
  Scenic/Landscape/Architectural:  Kodachrome 64
  TOPE 14:  (TBA)
  Extended family pix:  Kodachrome 64
  Editorial (Political campaign coverage):  Royal Gold 200
  Editorial (Public events):  Royal Gold 200
  Blues Bands:  TMax P3200 (EI 1600)
  Weddings:  Portra 160NC and Fuji Press 1600

I've lost count of how much film I've burned since January. It's substantial for me; definitely over 100 rolls. My wedding burn rate used to be about 40+ frames per hour. It's now about 60 fph. The average wedding is about 9 rolls of 135, one roll of 220 and one roll of Press 1600. If I can use flash during the ceremony, and it's desired by the bride/groom, trade the Press 1600 for yet another roll of Portra 160NC. I'm buying Portra by the "stick" and "brick" in Pro Packs. A lot gets burned in repetition of posed photographs, especially with large groupings. Someone *always* blinks in at least one of them.
