Crazy old man! Slow down. You are way too old to be
hunting hemi's in that 66GTO.
 
I've experimented to find the optimal settings to capture my dog playing on the beach. The problem is that she's very fast and is usually running at, away, or past me. I've programmed my latest settings in M1 for fast selection: shutter priority, 1/1250th sec., center single-shot autofocus, continuous shooting, f/5.6 exposure, auto ISO. I want to stop all motion, and I'm not all sure that those are the best settings. I'd welcome any advice.

yes harvey i also like the golden glow dog shot, i don't think you could get your settings much better than you have them,i also think if you can still get down to the dogs level and then shoot the pictures they always look just that bit better

i guess you could call my sons dogs in motion,exhibition only

I attended a DeKalb County, Georgia Track and Field event and had a great time seeing the kids represent their districts.

She looks to be in great shape, she got pretty high without a board. Why don't you get rid of the white plastic pipe and small blue below her? I know you can.

I knew you could do it, it's funny what we don't see when we are so familiar with something.

Very pleasant photo, I viewed the original, lots happening on a beautiful day.

I think the ones along the dock are real wood, they have metal trim, what do you think of the one you shot, the trim on the curved windshield doesn't look like wood.?

Nice, captures the anticipation and you can imagine the intention of the blue #1. Lot of Porsche's, what speeds do you use for various scenarios when you shoot races?

The strength in the horse's neck, to roll over his head like that is amazing. Glad nothing serious occurred.

I get the feeling they are training for a circus or variety show, and loving the training. Good stuff.

Nice shots and good advice, thanks Bassy. You could call your sons dogs in motion, I won't! :-)

My 3 entries, then some extra exhibits...

This was my first attempts using the tracking autofocus. I don't think it came out too badly, and am excited to use it in more situations (but please excuse my obvious sensor dust)!

Yoenis fouling off a tough pitch last summer, on one of our regular Red Sox pilgrimages (this time to NY for a Mets series). In the hot afternoon sun, after keeping hydrated with numerous beverages, not too many of these attempts were as clear, well timed, or decently framed as this one. Now I just have to get rid of that cable!

During one of my later nights at work, I snapped some longer shutter speeds of traffic from the window (hence the glare)

I was so excited to capture a hummingbird in flight in Greece, but it was only until later this sneaky guy proved to be a moth! It was still really cool to see though. Although not totally noise-less like many of you with

I was so excited to capture a hummingbird in flight in Greece, but it wasn't until later this sneaky guy proved to be a moth! It was still really cool to see, though. Although fairly noisy compared to all of you with 4-figure RX10iii's and APSC DSLR's, I was super impressed with my small sensor HX90v not only for being about 40' away at the time (see wide pic below), but also for stowing my equipment easily within my shirt breast pocket when done! I'm really loving this camera!
