Wow, Tim, that’s a fantastic action photo! I really envy your skills with your camera. 😎👍🏻

John, thank you. It has a lot to do with using the burst mode on your shutter. I can’t rely on my finger pushing the shutter at the exact moment. When you get 14 images in a bit over a second, you usually find one that is near to exactly what you’re looking for. The down side is you have a huge number of photographs to review. But, it’s worth it. I’m confident that you could do the same with any action shot.

I’ll try this, Tim, thanks. I know that mode is there but never use it. Oops…

John, I suspect there is a lot of information that you can find on YouTube if you get bogged down. I know I often turn to it for questions that I have. Best in adding to your growing photographic knowledge.

Thanks Tim, I rarely use Youtube except for ripping music! I think the best option for me is the reading I have done, and to go the Hands On route. In time, getting the manual settings right will become second nature.

Everyone has their particular learning methods. I’ve been told that you need to be able to set your camera in the dark. A challenge but I think they meant that you should know the functions of your camera without thinking. I’m still leaning that.
