Of topic, but in my Sony DSLR days there was a guy there who took the most amazing BIF pics; simply stunning. His method had nothing to do with luck. He would search out a place where he knew birds congregated - a nest for example. He would set up his equipment, we are talking $1,000+ tripod and gimbal heads, prefocused on a spot where he figured the bird would fly through to leave/return from the nest. Then he would wait, sometimes many hours, sometimes days.

That's what's separates the great from snapshot shooters like me. Not only skill and equipment, but preperation and pure doggedness.

I agree, I am a bit short on doggedness ....
