(3,120 posts)If, like me, you are a holdover from the days of film, you remember shooting with 12, 24, or 36 shots per roll. I shot weddings with 120 and 220 film in the 70s. We had to make every shot count then. An important part of photography was always being in the right place at the right time.
I also directed live television for thirty five years. Most shows that I directed usually used four or five cameras. I wasn't allowed to miss the action very often. It would have meant the end of my career if I did. It was easy to get good coverage with that many cameras, however timing was something different altogether. I learned to anticipate events and be ready for them beforehand. We always had to be thinking two steps ahead. "What if" was always in the back of our minds. 😊
