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 ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
