I thought it an excellent selection of images.

Certainly not overwhelming in number and all of high quality.

Aim camera in general direction of subject: Check!
Press shutter button numerous times: Check!
Make some random adjustments: Check!
Press shutter button numerous times: Check!
Select a few photos out of hundreds: Check!
