Hi Cesar.
As you may already be aware,i shot mostly equine events and
i too like to set up for 1-2 optimal shots not a set of rapid
fire pictures.Were is the fun or skill in that???If you have a
dark room i supose you can develop and shose which ones
go on the contact sheet but i dont,each pic costs me at
the lab.I view photography as an art form,as i'm sure
most of the list does to,so when i shoot its to hopefully get an
image people will enjoy.
I now have a D1 i use at some events to sell "on site" pictures
and i noticed a new company shooting a show last week.The
one "shooter" sat on a hill and did the same thing,hold in the
shutter and shoot.Most of her shots were to early or late over the
jumps or caught the ass end over the jump and i heard many people
comment that my work was a lot better,will you be doing the next show
instead of these people.It took me over a year to get my timing down
and never would if i shot like that.
Rant over Thanks
Dave

Subject: Sports photographer mentality?
Anyhow, the one thing that I noticed - as did the squadron
photographer I showed them to and two non-photographers, was that the
photographer was burning film. �It amazed me that he took four to six
consecutive shots (mash down the shutter release button) of people
standing
over timing chips, inspecting their bicycle, making a transaction in
the
sports expo. �On the other hand, I would see an interesting shot in
my mind
and then take one maybe two shots when I thought the moment to be
right.
Is his style attributable to a sports photography mindset
perhaps?
Not being in the profession, nor having talked to many who are I
figured I
would tap the vast knowledge of the list.
Thank you for your time,
