Thanks, Louie. Yeah it's interesting watching them. Sometimes they look like they've been shot and just fold up.

Beautiful sequence.

Hi Dan,
Just curious, what focusing mode did you use?

 

[ButlerKid]

Great series, Dan! Looks like you found some action! LOL!

 

[Roxie]

Thanks, Chris.

A crazy dive! Nice shots.

Thanks, Connie. It's interesting watching the contortions and different angles they'll dive.

Hi Dan,
Just curious, what focusing mode did you use?

Switched between auto area and wide area small depending on how much traffic there was. Auto area works great when they dive because it can be hard to keep them centered in the frame.

Great series, Dan! Looks like you found some action! LOL!

I did indeed

Very nice. So sharp!!!

Thanks for commenting.
