Spray and pray was the mantra of many wildlife photographers long before digital (and is even more so now). I recall a discussion on this list of this subject, how was I going to get the peak action of a leopard chasing a gazelle with my SL when in the F5 a roll of film was exposed in ten seconds and the camera had motorized rewind & automatic film loading so it would be ready for the next 36 exposures within seconds. Last fall while photographing bears another photographer left his camera and flash on burst mode... he made ten exposures for every one of mine (he also hacked bushes for a better view and got within two meters of the mother bear for his photos). An infinite number of DSLR users with an infinite supply of memory cards sooner or later will produce a good photo. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
