Sony and Fuji guys beware ... don't try to rinse your camera under a running tap!
I did the same thing with my E-M1 after I came back from a trip to Death Valley.

Sorry, I am am ugly guy. The camera/lens received a nice bath in the sink next day and used my Master Blaster (use for work) to get all the water out.
I am still in awe at your ability to capture these action images with a Canon lens. I understand the concept of pre-focussing ... but still - it's hard to beat the speed and accuracy of AF on a DSLR. Kudos to you though!
Are you planning to get the Oly 300/4 PRO? I am so looking forward to that lens for birds and wildlife.

If I was interested in AF Bobby, that would be the lens I would go for and with the 1.4x TC as well. Maybe in time when it comes out, but probably not. That lens would do m4/3 the world of good when it comes to wildlife and sports shooters, It looks impressive for sure. Just that MF suits me is all.
Static birds are fairly easy to MF on with the correct internal focus lenses. I expect 100% results on a static bird. BIF's are a little different when you have nothing to pre-focus on except sky or a far off background, so that takes a lot of practise, but there are a few old tricks as well.
So a little bit about the techniques for BIF's using MF lenses Bobby.
BIF's is a large part of what I go for, that's the challenge that keeps me going. These are all with the Sony NEX-7 along with the Canon MF lenses and eventually the E-M10 will catch up.
Thanks Danny! I use only native AF lenses but thanks for sharing your techniques.

OMG, amazing photos ! The last one from savingspaces is my favorite. So much detail. What place is that, and was it taken with the OM-D E-M5 II ? What lens ?
