Manual film advance would be difficult, but sequences like this were regularly taken with manually focused, manual exposure movie cameras for about 75 years. It's amazing how quickly skills are forgotten, let alone lost. The fact that this was done with a still camera is just about amazing. (But I though that the first time I saw it).

I dont agree with you in that the content of the images depend on the technology. In my view the lack of content is just more evident when the technology is better.


You haven't tried to shoot sports in the way it is being done these days. It's completely technology dependant now.

Is a pretty technology dependant set of pictures. I doubt if a manual focus, manual exposure, manual film advance camera would be capable of getting this series.
