I forget how many pictures my camera will take per second.... seems like around 3. That is around 180 pictures per minute. And when it is bright out, early afternoon... you have to use a really fast shutter to expose properly, so the camera is sitting there firing away as fast as it can. I've always had an aversion to just letting it rip of shots like that, seems I have a habit of picking a lull in the cg activity. Also I've only had a couple of cards in the past and didn't want to waste time deleting shots, afraid I might miss something. Another is wear and tear on the camera, but I'm about over that, especially now that I've purchased a second camera.
Yes it's great when it starts getting later in the evening and you can get the shutter speed up to at least a second or so. I'll probably buy some additional cards this year and try the rapid fire approach more... I'd have to agree all the trouble is worth it when you get a good shot. I was rapid firing when I got the lightning in my avatar but the sun had set for a while and I was up to around 5 seconds I think.
