Softly Into The Mist

ISO 100 ~ Shutter Speed 1/30s ~ F/8 ~ Natural Light

With the camera set to burst mode I went out to explore F/. Actually I went out twice. 300+ shots and there were a few keepers. Very few

I rarely use burst mode other than when trying to capture an action shot. Otherwise I find I have far too many images to work with (i.e. delete). Most experienced photographers will suggest slowing down and being deliberate about the shot one takes; far more keepers that way.

The closer you get the more outdoor close-up/macro works like an action shot.

Undoubtedly true for studio work but not so true for outdoor work. Wind, subject movement, earthquake tremors or even my dog walking past will all move things around. The more shots you can take the better your chances of getting as keeper.

Indeed ...

From the CIPA standard DC-011 for measuring image stabilization:

"Thus, this standard specifies that the number of shots for each shutter speed is at least 200."

Good thing I don't shoot film.

Actually that view is a common one among landscape and nature photographers. The one reason this group advocates for using a tripod is that it does slow the photographer down and lets him or her consider what can be seen in the viewfinder.

Portraiture with a model gets to be a lot closer to action photography, albeit at a slower pace. If one gets in front of a very experienced model, they will strike a new pose after every shutter click / flash.

Wildlife and event photographers tend to shoot in burst mode as their subjects tend to be in motion,

Nice image, Brian, I like the colours and the shallow DoF neutralises any background distraction.

The bg colors are sooc. I played a lot with the emerald.
