Aw, you guys forget about editors. Editors want 17000 shots to chose
from. It makes them feel creative. Then the pick one that you would have
consigned to the bit bucket yourself. And then all your peers go around
saying your published work sucks.
Any published writer, artist, photograper will tell you that a good
editor is a wonder, however the other 99.9%...

You do realise, Bill and the others who posted in this thread that
you're all missing the point completely? Unless you have 17 shots
each side of the action, you just aren't cutting it! :-) The fact
that you got the _one_ well-framed, in-focus, dead sharp shot at the
peak of the action means you must have been lucky, because you're just
playing at being photographers without a Canon or a Nikon!
Well, that's what the consensus would appear to be from recent
discussions...
My experience shooting sports is limited.
I've shot some football, baseball, motorcross and motorcycle racing,
fencing, and basketball.
What my limited experience tells me is that a high speed drive combined
with a trigger happy photographer will garner you a whole bnch of
pictures that show just before and just after the peak of the action.
Knowing the sport, and knowing when to push the button will give you a
lot more good pictures, and fewer frames to delete.
YMMV, that's just what I have discovered works for me.
