Wow great action series Ken, I was cheering for the old coot all the way. You have some wonderful individual shots as well as a great story. 4 and 12 are my favourites.

Rob -
I know what you mean. After all that effort, I was kind of pulling for the Coot myself.

Great job in a difficult situation! Gregg


Gregg -
Thanks. I consider myself lucky to have gotten what I got. The late afternoon/evening light always cheats my out of shots.

Thanks. I was prepared for the worst in terms of keepers that weren't going to be all blurry.

Killer set Ken

I first looked at these on my iPhone but wanted to wait until I got home to comment. They look even better here. You did great in the low light

I suppose you owe Thang real big now!

has to be the best action sequence i have seen on this forum in my short duration here

awesome post

and did you say d2x....what is that....i thought they were obsolete


Jeff -
They are, but I haven't been able to quite wrap my mind around the fact that they're obsolete. I own and shoot two of them every week.
If only I could get Nikon to sponsor me with new equipment ........

Ken, absolutely stunning series, certainly nothing to kick yourself over. Poor old coot, feel sorry for it, tried to escape so hard but they are pretty dumb witted even I have to admit. Johnny Bravo is just jealous. Patsy


Patsy -
Long time no see or hear. How are you doing now days?
And yes, JB IS jealous. He even called me up to tell me so.

You sure gave this kitty the run for the money. One of your best series in a log time

Mr. Zoom -
Well, it was the Coot that gave this kitty a run for its money........... Ummm, oh I get it. (I'm the old coot!).
So have I been promoted from "El" Guapo to "Mondo" Guapo?

Rustoleum -

No, you are Rustoleum, which means you're not quite as rusty as you once were as you have a new coat of paint. Mondo-Guapo is reserved for the young and handsome folk such as myself. Got it?

You owe Thang dinner! What an incredible experience. I think you photographed it very well Ken. You got some great shots of the action and ensuing struggle. Congrats.
