Daniel, I'm curious. With all your researching and long technical writing, do you even have time to actually photograph anything?

Yes. I type 120 WPM, so I could post a lot before I would run out of time for photography. In the case of this thread, it was a copy and paste from my earlier writings, so it only took a few minutes.


I typically shoot only about 200-500 frames per week, but it's the quality, not quantity, that matters. (Not counting timelapse, of course, for which I'll shoot easily 10,000 frames in one weekend.)
