Default Leaf in Flight

One thing digital cameras have done is make scattershot techniques
work, eg. take 200 pics of where a leaf might fall, panning at the
rate it would likely fall at in the wind, and you get one or two
that are decent when a leaf happens to be there going in the right
direction at the right speed

being the sharpest.

Who could afford to do that with film?

Not bad, but I think most people would just through a leaf or two into
the air where needed.

Sorry, but I just can't resist - what does "through a leaf" mean?

I guess I need a more intelligent spell checker. :-)

Why couldn't one do that? Photoshop is Photoshop whether the original was
analoge or digital.

You mean you misspelled "throw" and it offered you "through" as one of
the alternatives? That is interesting!

Based on the info given, I think one could with the EOS-1Ds Mark II.

What does Photoshop have to do with it?
