I am officially becoming grumpy in middle age.
[Rant/on] Use of "capture" as a noun drives me batty. Makes it sound as if
the little photons are just scrambling about, wild and unordered, until
forced to live in a digital file.  Or that you were lying in wait for them
to snuffle their way up to your clever trap. Bang. They are captured.
[Rant/off]

There, I feel better now.
