"Have you got a grip for that thing? Oh no? This thing allows me to take six frames more per second." I know I would make a terrible sports photographer, because I come from a pretty old fashion school of thought where you should think about the shot you are taking at least long enough to compose, if not focus^{[<a href="#20090207.13471">1</a>]}. He was friendly enough, but I can't help but think how out of touch I have been with photography. I felt like a couple of years ago I was up on all the new wiz-bang technologies, but with the advent of digital everything is moving so much faster now.</p> (<a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/entry/20090207.1347#cut1">more</a>) <br/><br/><hr width="20%" align="left"/> <ol> <li><a name="20090207.13471"></a>I am of course being unfair to real sports photographers, because in reality there is quite a bit of art to that and they really do need to compose their shots, they just have to compose them quickly!</li> </ol>
