The previous poster "LRZeitlin" may have all the good intentions in the

world with his mathematical figures, numbers and technical bull shit, but

the bottom line comes down to being there, feeling it and shooting with

instinct emotion and not some stupid Mickey mouse set of techie numbers.


Man some people just don't understand what re-actions and real life shooting

are all about.

They're only interested in dumb ass tests and numbers that are meaningless

in real life compared to actually doing it in the heat of the stadium with

thousands of yelling and screaming spectators.


This is really a stupid go no where topic and we've had some beauties, but

this one gets the golden ring! ;-)>>

Ted,

1. I didn't start the topic of camera lag, just intended to bring some order 
into the confusion.
2. My posts stated several times that camera lag is irrelevant when shooting 
action if you know your equipment and the sport you are photographing. We 
learn to compensate.
3. No matter how much you deny the problems of human frailty and equipment 
imperfection, they exist and must be dealt with. Techie figures or not, you 
can't fool Mother Nature.
4. You take beautiful pictures but didn't your mother ever tell you to show 
some humility?
5. Please send the golden ring by Express Mail. ;-)
