I'll certainly agree with you on the timing aspect. If this guy is blindly holding down the shutter button, I'll bet his keeper rate is low and he mostly misses the shot he is after. I can say that lots of practice of the exact timing you are trying to achieve is very helpful - one is to get used to the amount of delay in your camera and the other is to get used to the exact sequence of the event.
I can say that I have plenty of misses of the moment I am trying to capture, but I don't have 4 or 5 other misses to go along with each of them <grin>. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, June 6, 2005, 9:40:48 AM, you wrote: JF> On Mon, Jun 06, 2005 at 09:03:44AM -0400, Collin Brendemuehl wrote: >> >> Anyway, he like to shoot sports.
