The ability to erase your photos is one of the major advantages of a digital camera. You’d be mad not to use this to the fullest extent!

Take MANY more shots than you think you need, and then erase those that aren’t right.

I took all six photos and deleted all but the last one.

This way, you can just keep the ‘best of the best’. I like to check my shots in my computer at the end of the day and erase those that are blurry, or didn’t turn out great.

If you have a small memory card, you can opt to erase the shots inside your camera. Go back through your most recent photos every half an hour and erase any that don’t make the grade, or you have better versions of. However, as large memory cards can be purchased cheaply these days, I recommend getting one of these instead of erasing your shots in-camera.

Don’t be too zealous with deleting though. Sometimes your ‘not technically perfect’ shots will actually be your best because of an expression on someone’s face. If in doubt, save it. Once it’s deleted, it’s gone forever.

This is also a huge tip when photographing groups. With such a large number of people, there always seems to be someone blinking, or looking the other way. Having a large number of shots means you can pick the best of them to keep.
