This analogy doesn't work. The wood is always available to the carpenter and it doesn't move. Nature photographers might have to wait three hours for an opportunity to get the shot. When it finally comes, that opportunity might only last a few seconds. Wildlife photography is a specialized application and it requires special tools. With better tools, the photographer will get more good shots. That's critical when he's doing it to put food on the table. Tom Reese
