Will, I love that in your first set you captured that "OH CRAP" moment on her face when they started to fall. Always good to hear no one was hurt.
Had to look back through them because it looked like her leg got stuck under the horse, but when I looked closer seems she adjusted her foot so that it wouldn't take the horses weight on it.
Thanks! Wasn't gonna shoot that barrel but saw the "fall" starting. Got a burst of 7 off...real quick.
While I'm here, grabbed an op to fine tune AND capture some Ibis
just out my driveway a bit. This combo's getting a lot of use.

What a sequence you captured Will !! Glad she and the horse were okay. Must have been a scary few moments .

Thank you, Birdie. Yeah, heart gets up in your throat when this happens. Amanda and horse were fine,
it was almost a graceful dismount (if there is such a thing)
Shreeni, those are two extremes of zoom quality.
I'm using the Sig Sport 150-600 as well as the Nikon 200-500
on the D500 with great results...both AFing and IQ. Had the
70-200 f2.8 VR II out for some rodeo action and it was superb.
You can't expect a $700 zoom lens to keep up, eh?! Sorry,
but you'll be spending more money to "feed" that D500 properly.

The D500 + 300PF is a pretty darn good combination with and without 1.4x TC (I don't have a 2.0x TC).
AF is very fast and combination is feather light. :-)
It's my (new) travel birding combination.
Currently for birding I use the d800e + Nikon 300mm 2.8 + TC 2x (most of the time). Unfortunately for most good places for birds around me I could still use more reach most of the time. Ideally I probably need a 500 or 600 with teleconverters, but the size and cost for now are keeping me away from those beast. The d500 should help with the reach, and better AF will probably lead to more tack sharp shots, which take better to cropping.
The 300 PF comes into the picture because as much as I love the 300mm F2.8 some times its just way to big to bring someplace, especially if the focus isn't birding.
I can't seem to figure out how to use the IR remote shutter release on my D500. I can't shoot planets and galaxies until I figure this out. Anyone know how to do this?

I don't think it has an IR receiver. You can use any 10-pin remote cord or wireless remote. I think Nikon wants you to buy a WR-R10/WR-T10/WR-A10 set.
