Display Image Count

Good morning,

I have been looking and searching all morning, and I am completely stumped. This is what is going on. I have two galleries. One the wordpress default image gallery and the nextgen gallery. The next gen gallery is configured that when a user clicks a thumbnail it takes them to a webpage outside my site. Since the files in that gallery is items, I display that count on a widget (total items 8k).

Example of what I am talking about : http://www.worldofwardrobes.net

Now what I am wanting to do is under that display the count of images in the default wordpress gallery. (will be tagged – Set count: number here) What php code do I need to use to display that? Or is it even possible.

I apologize in advance if this has been answered, I have been sitting behind a keyboard for 18 hours, so my brain is a bit fried.

And thank you in advance.
