Have to thank my Wife for taking the Photo , for I was busy at the time ! set the Camera to TAv for her, and continuous Focus , the ISO was a little high for my liking , I did have the Aperture set a F5 ,for I took a few test shots first , must have gotten bumped , and the sun was in and out , However I think it turned out ok !!

It is a very good action shot and your wife is a good photographic rival for you.

I cannot disagree, it is a very fine effort. Congrats to your better half. Thanks for sharing.

Good catch! Do you use TAv often? I think I've only tried it a few times in the last 8 years since I got my Pentax. What situations do you use it for?

I have to admit , I was a bit sore the day after , being 50 tells you this ! and I wont mention the number of takes ! ( did you get the shot Honey ?) which didn't help the body ether ! LOL yes my wife did a fantastic job and thank you all for saying so ! GeoJerry in situations like this ill use TAv , I do use it quite often especially on a cloud / sun day, i'll set the speed and Aperture I want ,and take a few test shots with something general to get a reading with light conditions and adjust to keep a low ISO , then I never have to worry about getting exposure when driving ,Hiking the country side , when I see opportunity for wildlife I'm ready to shoot on a moments notice , them Dam Hawks are my worst , don't stick around long , especially waiting for me to figure out my settings , when I have time to figure out settings I stick with manual for I'm mostly a landscape guy ! and I like to underexpose my shots and bring them back to life on the desk top ! that's what I like doing !!
