Wade, that's one photo every six seconds for an hour!
Not only do I admire your industry, but I just calculated that as AUD $500

Of course, stopping to reload would push the cyclic rate up to say 14 shots 
per min!
How many keepers??

Cheers
Hoppy

Ah interesting, didn't know this.  It was definitely continuous.  About an
hour for all 600.
