You do realise, Bill and the others who posted in this thread that you're
all missing the point completely? Unless you have 17 shots each side of
the action, you just aren't cutting it! :-) The fact that you got the
_one_ well-framed, in-focus, dead sharp shot at the peak of the action
means you must have been lucky, because you're just playing at being
photographers without a Canon or a Nikon!
Well, that's what the consensus would appear to be from recent
discussions...
My experience shooting sports is limited.
I've shot some football, baseball, motorcross and motorcycle racing,
fencing, and basketball.
What my limited experience tells me is that a high speed drive combined with
a trigger happy photographer will garner you a whole bnch of pictures that
show just before and just after the peak of the action.
Knowing the sport, and knowing when to push the button will give you a lot
more good pictures, and fewer frames to delete.
YMMV, that's just what I have discovered works for me.
