It is good to see that you enjoying the camera. However, I too sometimes 
think about the value of shooting so many frames. I understand that a number 
of different poses are needed, but it seems that given the controlled 
environment of the studio there is no need to bracket for exposure, so do 
the models really need 1000 different images from a day's shoot, many of 
which are very similar? Just wondering. Certainly you would not take this 
kind of machine-gun approach back in the film days.

Cheers,
Nathan
