Perfect Timing
Lens: smc PENTAX-DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED Camera: K2000 Photo Location: Fredericktown, MO ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/350s Aperture: F4.5 
Posted By: fletcherkane, 07-31-2019, 02:06 PM

Shot photos for a camp last week. Was running late to a camper belly-flop contest. Approached the water-front just as first kid was going in the water. Raised the camera, quick focus, and shot. Had no idea the perfection of the timing on it until I got back to my room. Not as sharp as I would've liked, but perfect timing none the less. Enjoy!

The sharpness is on the water, not the camper, but jeepers cripes, that's good!

Sometimes sharpness has to take a backseat to perfect timing. This is one heck of a shot.
