You hit the nail squarely on the head and wrote it extremely well. You describe so well what I think is one of the major problems with young shooters these days, no thinking, just machine gun evereything and pray the moment is there somewhere amid the rubble. Great blog and great witting! Keep up the great work. ................................................................................................................ I agree. Something I did for fun once would seem to be a good idea for photography classes - going out and taking only one picture. My father once bought a camera at a rummage sale for me. I like using all the cameras in my collection, but this was an Ansco folder that took something like 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" negatives on discontinued large roll film, so I cut down some Kodak Ortho Fine Grain Positive film and loaded one sheet in the film plane. I went to the most picturesque local cemetery, looked around for a while, and decided on my one shot. After exposing it, I went back to my darkroom and processed it. This is the one and only picture I ever took with that camera: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Cemetery_AMR.jpg.html> Before we got the EOS system in '92, I hardly ever got to use a motor drive, so I continue to use the single-shot setting even with digital.
