Re: Motor Drives

2003-11-29 by Jerry in Houston

Maybe I have just become lazy in my old age, but I have found I like a motor drive... not for trying to follow fast action as one might think, but because I feel it allows me to focus my attention on what I am photographing without having to remember to manually advance the film, often taking my eye from the finder, after each shutter release.  I find it enhances my creative thinking... YMMV.  I have used it for auto racing pics, but have not felt it was a necessity as I think I know where the action is..... except maybe in NASCAR or F1 where a crash sequence might be the object.
