Just a funny sidenote to this.

A year ago I had to take pictures for a stunting (cheerleading) book that my
company produced.  I had to catch the flyer (cute, small girl) WAAAYYY up in
the air doing stunts.

It only took me a few pictures to get the "timing" down.  Fortunately the
camera (C-4040 at the time, now replaced by the C-5050) had a very
predictible (and I think shorter than some) lag time.  The pictures turned
out great.  I have to do it again this year with the 5050.

This doesn't help for "street photography" maybe, but for action where you
can determine beforehand when the action will be, it works.  The stunts
helped because they were all counted.  If the stunt happened on count 7, I'd
fire at about 5 and a half.  Amazing, but it worked!

Very funny, and yes, I understand completely ;-)
