Thats an error for me too.
I suppose you are thinking that, as the bird is taking off, the splashes should look as if they are going backwards as the feet force the water back. In reality, the splashes travel mostly in the direction the bird is travelling. As your photo shows. You are in great company here. Edweard Muybridge would be proud of you.

You _could_ get equipemnt to do the job but it would be so unwieldy, with extender and battery pack, that you would be trying to wave the inertia equivalent of a badly attached 600/4 around. No fun.... Having said that, it is suprising how tolerant of something that they are entirely unfamiliar with some species will be. A human? Flight mode. Flash of light? Carry on. Shutter noise is often more intrusive. > > Tim Typo > Mostly Harmless > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "mike wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 10:16 AM > Subject: Re: PESO Challenger (Going OT) > > > > > > > From: Charles Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 2007/09/09 Sun PM 06:01:35 GMT > > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: PESO Challenger (Going OT) > > > > On Sep 9, 2007, at 11:02, P.
