Richard & Shangara, I can see both sides of the case for shooting a lot of pictures. When I shot weddings on film I got better and better at only pressing the shutter if I thought the shot was perfect and achieved a very high 'great shot' ratio. The thing is, as most of my shots are reportage I have to catch the moment as it happens and digital just gives me that safeguard to get it in case someone blinks etc. I also take much more contextual shots now like the kids playing with the confetti which parents love and this has all been made easier by not having to worry about changing rolls and the expense. Almost every shot I take is different in spite of taking 500+ and because I sell my photos on the web, all the guests go online and order the photos they are in etc.
Anyway as for taking 10 shots of the same thing to get 1 good one, I agree that's just hit and hope.

OK there may be instances where you do need to shoot across some action to get the best combination....certain fashion shoots, motor racing etc...
