Gesh Zoomer, many of us would be happy just getting one or two great shots in a sequence like this. You got....well, a lot. Well done, Ken, these are excellent.

Thank you very much, Henrik. I was totally ecstatic I got this many in one sequence

You are a very confused person, Dan. It's not about the gear nor is it about having skill or talent. You just have to have lots and lots and lots of luck. It works for me anyway

Well, wow. This is a great, great series. "That ain't workin', that's the way you do it -- you nail the fishies on the inland sea..."


If nailing the fishes on the inland sea is the criteria I'd say this Osprey has it going on Thanks Mark!

Ken, what a great series. And some very funny posts in this thread!

I am posting here to increase your message count, I hope you appreciate it

these are great shots, you must have a really nice camera. lol

but seriously, nice work - you should be proud of yourself! capturing the entire series like that, not just one shot

btw, it looks like these are from April? wow, you take a long time to post photos! (or your exif data is wrong)

Bloody awesome!! As a person who has wandered in here from the Landscape forum, which is 'the shot' out of all the these?


Hi Donald,

Technically both 9 & 10 would qualify as grail shots but I'm leaning more toward 10 as the defining shot and mislabeled it.

Coming in late on this one, but I'll echo what everyone else is saying -- Wow. Right place, right time, good eye, good hands, and sticking with the action all the way to the end. You must still be smiling.


Thanks again, Mark. I have to admit that I just about gave up shooting for the day after this sequence but I decided to stick it out for another 10 minutes before I raced home to download the card Yep, still smiling

DAMN!!! Some great stuff there the light was awesome.


Yeah, I got lucky as Osprey appeared late in the day and the sun was at a near perfect angle for the lighting on this series.

Thanks for the DAMN good reply

As an amateur looking in, what can I say? At my stage of 'learning' I am simply in awe of the clarity and IQ.

Breathtakingly beautiful.



Hi Martin,

Like many of the better photographers here it has been a long process learning how to get the camera settings right, learning how to control and shoot a long lens and then processing the images once you have taken them to make them look their best. I've taken over 100k photos since joining this site and I am still learning. If you stick with it and show some passion you will easily be able to capture photos like these.

Glad you enjoyed them and thank you very much for your overly kind comments
