Camera Happy
Around the first of the month, Lydia and I were able to upgrade our iPhones at no cost, from a 3GS to 4S. It was exciting to have a phone that is now able to run faster and keep up with what I needed it to do. For a time, it would take longer than usual just to get the camera app up and ready to take a picture. It was frustrating.
With the new phone, I'm now able to quickly open the camera and take the shots I want! I'm happy. In fact, the we got the phones the day before I left for our church's men's camping trip. I was excited to be able to use it that weekend. It took great shots, and I'm very pleased with the quality. It also has a front-facing camera, which is neat when taking self-shots with the kids and Lydia. I'm also trying out those apps like SocialCam.
However, I forgot that there might be an issue with a better camera. You see, if it takes better shots, that means that the file size is larger. Yes, I knew it, but didn't really take it into consideration. That is, until over the past weekend.
Apparently, I have been very "camera happy" since I got the phone. I got it on the 6th, and by the 22nd, I had taken over 800 photos. Now granted, several were videos. There were several activities lately that contributed to the accumulation of pictures. We had a Family Day that included a trip to the zoo and pool. I took great shots, but I also took many photos! That was the beginning of my trouble.
My camera-roll syncs with my dropbox account, and I was notified that my I was nearing my limit. At first, I didn't understand it, and began going through my dropbox files, deleting and cleaning out unnecessary files. But that didn't really help. It wasn't until I clicked on the camera folder's properties that I finally understood. It was over 5gb!!! Wow! And that was less than a month's worth of files.
Sure enough, I had taken a lot of photos and it was taking up that much space. Oh my. So, I backed them up and I'm fine for now. I guess I need to be more aware!
