Letting this topic sink and stir around a bit....
High-level thinking:
For me ... If I hear over-shoot it feels like spray and pray.
But if I am thinking about working a scene, shooting with a purpose to capture a specific moment.
That to me is being a professional. Working the scene to create lasting, impactful images for my client.
Interesting topic.
I agree. This has been one of the most interesting and normalizing threads to read as it gives some insight to what it takes for others to get the images that they are presenting. It feels like 2000-2500 is the norm for a full day, with or without a second shooter. I\'m right within that, so I guess I\'m normal. Sure, that would be 100 rolls of film, but most of us aren\'t shooting with film, so there is no point in pretending like we are. This is just the nature of digital photography and it does allow for more adventurous shots.
\"Over-shooting\" is not the same as \"Spray and pray,\" but are either of these things always negative? DDiggler posted a link in another thread to a video (Thread: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1314938/2#12555811 , Video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e-WxCoDewbY ) Gene Ho seems to be taking a very deliberate approach to spray and pray that is getting him results. I guess it is more spraying and less praying since he seems to be getting consistent results. Regardless, he\'s not even looking through the camera and he\'s just moving the camera and picking winners when he culls. Is it careless or just a different technique?
On a side note about the video, it is refreshing to see a pro shooting DX sensor cameras (D300S), but he uses a lens lineup with a crazy gap in focal length! (10mm, 15mm, 50mm, 85mm)!!!
