Cracking a whip at 10 fps

This guy performed at the Bristol Renaissance Faire near Chicago.

Keep your eyes on the dixie cup underneath the pewter mug.

Nice
(But shows that 10fps is not nearly enough to "spray and pray" and hope you catch the right moment.)

Yup, I could have told you that, Rene! I figure 50 fps at a minimum. I don't even use HSD in boxing ... if you don't anticipate exactly you don't get the image at a piddly 10 fps.

I wonder how long it will be before we have movie/video cameras shooting 20MP images at 30 fps at a consumer price point, and cameras designed for still photography become a thing of the past.

I rarely shoot at 10 fps. It mostly just fills up CF cards with junk. In the theatre I sometimes shoot 2 or 3 shot bursts at 3 or 5 fps, just in case the subject blinks. I found that at 10 fps I would get 2 shots with eyes closed instead of 1.

But there are those rare occasions when a higher frame rate improves the odds of capturing a decisive moment.

it was fun, curtis
