place these new images side by side with some 30 year old shots and you will
see why such old shots aren't publishable any longer. i have birding books
from the late 60's to 70's. amazing for their time, completely unpublishable
today because they don't meet today's standards for sharpness, let alone
content. this guy is an amateur and there are now thousands of people like
him out there producing similar images. that's the difference that
technology makes.

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).
