Shutterbug Cut Short

I arrived at a Church this morning, to take photos of a confirmation, at the invitation of the family. I had taken precisely 35 photos, when a man in a black suit -- before the service started -- banned me from taking any more. In fact, the Church was overrun by men in black suits -- even dark glasses -- but perhaps no wonder, considering the number of hits on Churches lately. They gave the impression of being particularly agitated FBI agents! OBSERVATION: Once my ban was lifted, at the end of the service, I took 0.5 photos per second for ten minutes straight -- trying to catch the dying action -- in and out of sunlight and fluorescent lighting. I estimate that a tenth of the photos I took may be good, which would be a high success rate for me.

POSTSCRIPT: My final verdict: 1 out of 50 photos were excellent, which is my usual score.
