Tom, I'm not trying to be uppity here. I'm not implying that you do, but I don't hold the release down & fire away. I've done that in the past & I've gotten good documentary/stock shots of alot of animals in the wild. I'm trying to move on & capture the unusual animal pose/expression/interaction. I won't shoot just because I see a bear/moose/beaver/etc. During my first few trips to Alaska I did. Once you've got "the" animal shot you've always wanted you realize the only way to improve on that shot is to capture it doing something "different" (a bear scratching his back on a tree/ the interaction of the animal with others etc) Go ahead shoot any way you like, I'm just relaying my experience with the *ist D in the field.
I'm lobing this one back into your court <VBG> Kenneth Waller -----Original Message----- From: Tom C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: SV: Any reason not to buy a *istD? Really Ken? When an animal is running through undergrowth and towards trees and cover where there will be no more opportunity to take the shot.... you are more selective? I'm talking about a situation where you have probably at most 15 - 20 seconds to capture the animal . The buffer quite easily fills in that time frame. Nice backhand, BTW.
