You're a snapper with your lens trained on the star rider as he is
tumbling down the track - it all happens in what? less than 5 seconds or
so. Do you shoot one frame at a time, trying to capture the decisive
moment(s) of the action, or do you machine gun it, knowing that you will
have over 40 frames to choose from with an excellent hit rate.

Bare in mind that you are either A) a staff boy with a picture editor
that will breathe fire and brimstone if you don't get a decent shot of
the fall, or B) a freelance who is competing with a dozen other
freelances to get a better picture than them all, cos it's your living.....

I know which one I'd rather do ;-)




Cheers,
  Cotty
