Perhaps a slight progress has been made today with swallows. Had to terminate the test early because the Sun coming in and out of the clouds once per minute drove me nuts. You see, manual exposure is great as long as the light on the subject doesn\'t vary much, otherwise it doesn\'t work.
I still have a way to go before something good comes out of this swallow shoot.
Incidentally, I have checked my current shutter count associated with SIF alone: around 220. Zero keepers, several progress monitoring grade shots.
When I did a similar shoot probably in 2008, can\'t remember exactly because all of those files got lost, my SIF keeper rate was 0.5 to 2% max. At that time I used 1DMkIIN plus a variety of fast lenses.
