Funny that you happen to use toad catching as an example. Last year, I was shooting landscapes in a park when I was approached by a young girl who had captured a small snake in the grass. For just a brief moment, she held the snake in front of my lens to brag about the catch, even though I was a complete stranger. By some miracle, I was able to recalibrate the camera quickly enough to make this shot happen. Not sure how I would get by without this kind of flexibility.
