Fresh crab

Nice "stop action" shot.

Well-captured backlit shot! Please confirm that he caught his own crab this time, not stealing it from the ibis. :-) TFS.
Best.

Great shot. You really caught the action just right!

**MotoRider** · 11-04-2019, 04:18 AM

That was my first guess. I definitely need to extend my lens collection. Longest one now is DA* 50-135. Probably I will start from 55-300 PLM if Adam will send me one at the beginning of new month!

That would be a great choice. I have thought of buying one for travel. My 60-250 takes up a little too much space, but it is such a good lens, I hate leaving it at home.

Are you happy with the AF speed?

**Sailor** · 11-04-2019, 07:08 AM

Perfect timing, Todd. Super job.

It works pretty well if the target is larger such as gulls, ducks, geese, etc. I struggle with smaller birds in flight. From what I have read, the 55-300 PLM is much faster.

Very nice shot Todd. At the price he pays you could eat crab everyday.

Thanks Dave. Yes, the beach and shoreline were littered with crab carcasses, so he does have some competition
