That's enough film for one shot every 3 minutes or so. Plenty of time and film! At least I imagine that's what would go through someone's mind, so they shoot away with a cavalier attitude (after all I'm only going to show people the "good ones"). I think Eric is on to something. What might be interesting is to do the same thing but limit everyone to just ONE shot in that 2 hours. I've heard of these ONE shot a day stories and how the ratio of good to bad is quite high. Imagine how you would really search and really think about what you shot if it could only be one. You'd stop and consider what you are looking at through your viewfinder much more and would be much, much harder on yoruself about what would be worth clicking the shutter. You'd not casually shoot many you should not have shot in the first place anyway and if you saw in the viewfinder a good one would grab it. I might try this.
