Originally posted by smf This image of gulls was captured at Whiting Overlook Park in Midland County, Michigan, with my RMC Tokina 500mm 1:8 on my Pentax K-S2, supported by an inexpensive chest pod I bought years ago from a camera store's clearance table.
I have seen many images in this thread which are far better, but I am pleased to have captured this "grab" shot at 1/125 second.
Thanks to everyone who posts in this thread, and best wishes.

sometimes a "grab " shot [ or as I categorized them - " shoot and pray opportunity " ] is all you get
no chance to change settings or grab the right lens, scrambling to get auto focus or manual focus
hope for the best.
been there done that, but not as well as others most the time
some times you just have to get lucky
