I shoot a lot of shows along side other photographers, sometimes I shoot more than them, sometimes less but generally the feedback I get from artists is complementary with relation to my ability to capture their most meaningful facial expressions. My images are sometimes technically better than others but all the technical stuff aside the absolute differentiator is timing, and sometimes you just need to shoot the hell out of a subject in order to capture the perfect expression. That said I rarely set my drive mode to continuous but the shutter still seems to become pretty rapid fire when the action demands.
