Sometimes you have to shoot quickly. In the former case, I had to shoot
around 80 small groups as they came off stage and posed briefly. A
minute or so per group, 4-5 frames per group. It adds up quickly.
The second case was shooting breakdancers in action. Once again,
shooting 3-4 frames at 2fps per subject, although less subjects and I
was shooting each one several times. Lots of fun with a MF camera to be
sure.

Who will note both cases occured while I was indeed on vacation.

An exposure every 12 seconds or so doesn't seem like much thought went into
composition or framing ... but then, I can see the desire to shoot a lot
and shoot fast in some circumstances. Speaking only for myself, a slower
approach often seems to work better. Anyway, there's a difference between
a burst of enthusiastic shooting and making a lot of exposures consistently
over a protracted period of time. I don't think I've the stamina for it.
But then again, maybe with a digi I will ...

It's not that much. I've done around 230 in 2 hours at the last Anime
Masquerade I shot, and 72 in 15 minutes last weekend when I ran across
an open breakdance jam while running errands.
