"WHAT THE HELL WERE >YOU THINKING?" =================================================================================================== I find that I shoot about the same number of exposures that I did with film (on the job). Then I only rarely used a motor drive (mainly the few soccer games I covered) and even now my drive setting is always on "single". In my personal photography, I shoot FAR fewer pictures with digital than I did before; I always have an empty feeling when I can't record an image on a tangible medium. I got a chuckle this week. I was at a number of campus events that were also covered by a photographer for the student newspaper. While I would observe, decide, and expose a frame at a time, every time she pressed the shutter release, I could hear, "click-click-click" or "clickclickclickclick". These were lecture type situations, not sports. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy-duddy. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
