> From: Rob Studdert <[email protected]> Hi Rob, Mark, Paul, et al,
Stan nicely elaborated on what I was trying to say last night. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking tons of shots to capture the exact moment(s). With a dynamic moving subject that's clearly desirable, if not a necessity. I hope that was clear to all by my responses on the subject, and that I was addressing the subject of getting good shots in a more generic sense. As Stan summed up, quality vs. quantity. And of course quantity if the subject dictates.
