Well, the crop does not show David - a good little sensor you have.
I was just curious to know how you proceded to get so powerful
compositions on moving subjects.
How fast is the 50-200 when in continuous focus mode? I presume this is
the one you use for this kind of takes.
My 70-300 would go astray everytime, I 'm sure - would just go plain
Fuzzillogics ;-)
Thanks again for sharing wonderful photos, and for the recipe for
potential cooks such as I..

As to the action which you caught so well, you know my feeling, not
for any kingdom or republic, never! ;-)
Are these cropped BTW.
I mean the photos.
Good Mornin' Philippe!
I must agree, you couldn't get me on to one of those beasts for love
nor money. But, if you think some of these shots are scary... "just
you wait, Henry 'Iggins, just you wait."
And, yes, almost all are cropped. A bucking bronco can move up to 20
meters across the arena, while fully rotating twice and bucking 5 to 6
separate times in under 2 seconds. It is nearly, impossible to frame
tightly, and get any worthwhile shots at all.... just too difficult to
keep the action in the frame, though sometimes you get lucky.
Because of the speed, even auto-focus fails fairly often, resulting in
shots with the plane of focus in unexpected places or even completely
out of focus. Still, the success rate is far higher than with manual
focus. With MF, I got good success with things like Chariot races,
because they take a known track, and you can pre-focus on a spot and
fire when they come through it. But with these beasts, no one knows
where they'll be... not even the horses and bulls!
Thanks for taking the time to look. :-)
Cheers!
