Both methods are totally valid, both methods can capture the exact same image. And there is no shame in using either method. Since I shoot with the D3x, the first method isn&#8217;t really an option so I am forced to use the sniper mode but I could always attach the D3s and go the fun way. So why don&#8217;t I do that? I was asked that and the only answer I can really come up with is, I like the challenge. Watching through the lens, looking at the biology and the hints my knowledge provides while moving the lens waiting to hit the button to me is fun. Of course the number of images I capture will be less but when I do get them, I feel a little pat on my back occur. One side benefit I do find though in playing this game is keeping reflexes sharp and I think that in the long run is a good thing. Oh, and in case you don&#8217;t understand sniper mode, let me put it this way. One shot does the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Bag<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/592951-REG\/Nikon_25442_D3x_SLR_Digital_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID3X\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID3X\" target=\"_blank\">D3x<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/520646-USA\/Nikon_2173_Telephoto_AF_S_Nikkor_600mm.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI6004GEDVR\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI6004GEDVR\" target=\"_blank\">600f4VR AFS<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/337511-USA\/Nikon_2151_TC_17E_II_1_7x_Teleconverter.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NITC17E2\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNITC17E2\" target=\"_blank\">TC-17e II<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/548442-REG\/Gitzo_GT5561SGT_GT_5561SGT_Giant_Systematic_6X.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/GIGT5561SGT\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xGIGT5561SGT\" target=\"_blank\">Gitzo 5561SGT<\/a> w\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/404536-REG\/Wimberley_WH_200_WH_200_Gimbal_Tripod_Head.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/WITHQRQ\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xWITHQRQ\" target=\"_blank\">Wimberley Head<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two options when it comes to capturing action, blast away (truly the funniest thing to do in photography) or sniper mode, the single shot.
