[Leica] Shoot less... ?

[Mark Rabiner]

I very occasionally shoot short bursts of 2 or 3 and have recently fine
tuned the speed in my camera as to how fast that happens. As in I made it
faster.
Often is because at night I am shooting at too slow a shutter speed and  I'm
going to pick out one which is mysteriously sharper than the other two.  I
find if I shoot three there's always one which is amazingly sharp and
totally usable. With others being total wash outs.
If I'm shooting more then a group of people  I'll do it just because things
are moving fast and I want everyone's eyes open... At the same time.
Including mine.

If there was a squirrel. and it grabbed my empty foam lens pouch and started
running down the sidewalk and up and over a fence.... I'd shoot a burst.
Evidence for a Grand Jury!
