The first one is great.
What kind of shutter speed do you use? It looks to be faster than 1/1000 ?

Thanks for the kind words. You're spot on about the first two: #1 is 1/000, and #2 is 1/1600. The next two are 1/400 and 1/500, respectively. That fast lens really came in handy!

You should get out and try it! I'm sure it would be great with kids, too.
Originally posted by slowpez Thanks for sharing the technique. Love the results and it is a great way to capture all the action.
I had a lot of fun doing it, too. If you leave out the part about resting the camera on your foot and not looking through the viewfinder, it's also a great way to get action shots from fast manual-focus lenses.
I've seen some expressions on my dog in these pictures that I never knew she made. I thought this one was pretty interesting. She reminds me of those
heraldry wolves. I always thought those poses looked silly, but it turns out they look just like that sometimes!

Thanks! It really pops out at you, doesn't it? I think #4 is my personal favorite, even though it's slightly out of focus.
