Thanks, Bob, and thanks to everyone else who commented. It's amazing how a quick grab ends up being such a fun shot! No thought or consideration of any kind, just put the camera to eye and shoot! Okay, actually that's not true, I knew I had the camera in HyperProgramme, so once I saw him coming, I quick set the shutter speed to 1/25th, and I did frame it quite consciously while panning (what you see is full-frame), so I guess some experience came into it, but the whole thing took like maybe 2 seconds, with a chance to get one shot. Sometimes you get lucky. ;-) That being said, shots that I've put far more effort and thought into have been posted and virtually ignored, or have been met with lukewarm response, but this one was a one-shot grab. Go figure. Anyway, thanks again! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
