And I've been wanting to try a P67. If you decide to sell it (and I have any money at the time), let me know.(posted 8744 days ago)By the way, you normally shoot 15 rolls of 35mm in only 2 hours? I only shot 11 rolls in about 4 hours of shooting at the wedding I did last weekend - and that was using two cameras simultaneously (b/w and color). The last big shoot I did (two models over two days, with both location and studio work), I only shot 10. How many shots do you take of a "pose" (a setup, an idea, whatever) in order to get a good one? And of the poses you do during a shoot how many give you a positive result? I know that photographers like Sante D'Orazio will shoot up to 2000 frames in a day, but I'm assuming that they are trying out lots of different ideas (and have the available manpower to make it happen). I expect that they also have a lot of good shots at the end of a shoot - even though only a handful will ever be selected for publication.
When I first started, I found myself clicking the shutter like Austin Powers - and hoping that that the end result would be ok. I slowed down a bit and now only shoot when I know I'm real close to a decent shot. (Though when I see it, I will shoot up to 1/2 a dozen or so in quick succession. And, as I mentioned before, I will keep shooting - slowly - even when I know that it's not very good in order to keep the model from getting too self-conscious.)
I know that everyone works differently, but you might want to aim for a happy median between the two extremes.
