The advantage of power wind and carrying a camera ready to use is
shown  here.  The picture was taken with a Canon  T70  and 70/210
Tamron  zoom in Palma Nova - Majorca.  The high light level 
meant fast  shutter speeds and small apertures.  That SHOULD mean
sharp results.

The camera motor was capable of 2 frames a second,  and the added
advantage of a motor is that the camera can be kept to the eye
between shots.


If I am carrying a camera,  it is ALWAYS switched on and ready to
use.  In this case set to program - a setting very likely to get
a good result regardless of what purists might say.

I noticed the couple walking out to the boat in shallow water and
thought there might be a shot. You can see what happened.  The
motor allowed 3 frames to be taken of the `incident`,  of which
this is the best.



I  once  had a confrontation in a camera club when I said  that a
camera  should never be in it`s case when out and about.  One 
old gent said I had no respect for my equipment and that it was
easily damaged  if not protected.  I retorted that the camera was
only  a tool  - a bricklayer doesn`t keep his trowel in a soft
bag in  his pocket.

The old gent walked out. Everyone to their own opinion !
