Not interested. As I stated in a previous post I'm tying to get past the documentation shot. I think for some people, new to in- field animal shots, just capturing photographically, animals in the wild, is a real hoot. I've pretty much done that with the animals in Denali & I seek to move to the next level, so I am selective in what I capture - does this cause me to miss some action ? Occasionally yes. Do I still follow an animal with my lens during a sequence? Sure. I just try to anticipate the right moment to press the release. >but a sequence can be more powerful in telling a story. No argument here.
