Met with a client recently, who is a ballerina a wanted her graduation photos taken. After we finished up all the static poses, I asked her, because of her athleticism, if she would like to do an action shot. She said sure and I stopped the motion. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.cc/gock49hdz/DSC3630.jpg) This was shot with a Nikon D810 using Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8 @ 24mm 1/3200 and ISO 100

The fast shutter speed stopped her well. I like her leaping shadow on the grass too.

I do a bunch like that with dog's, just not quite that good. Let me ask you a question. Do you actually try to time a shot like that or use machine gun mode? I only use machine gun mode shooting running dogs. I also up ISO to where I can use a min 250 sec and a wide open lens. I don't time nothing, I just get what come's out. I have heard from guy's that claim they do running shot's of animals and time their shot. Can't see how they do that, time goes by to fast and a nano sec changes every thing.

When shooting birds in flight I set SS at 1000 or greater and select aperture based on how much depth of focus I think I want —almost always in either continuous low or high.

When doing sports, I usually do multiple frames and hope that one or two are good

Let me ask you a question. Do you actually try to time a shot like that or use machine gun mode? Don, I use a Nikon D810 and this this subject and many like her in the dance company that I photograph, I will do two things. First, I will ask them to do what they are going to do so I can preview it. What kind of timing do I need? Then I will switch from Aperture priority to Shutter priority. Commonly I am at 1000th of a sec or faster in order to prevent ghosting in my image. Then, I'll shoot on CH (continuous high)speed mode which is five (RAW) frames per second, without the extended battery pack. Then the re-evaluate the shot in the preview and delete the ones that are leading up to and following the one that I wanted. I also up ISO to where I can use a min 250 sec and a wide open lens. I don't time nothing, I just get what come's out. Depending on how well your camera handles high ISO, you can definitely increase the ISO to help increase your the amount of light of the image. Although you want to me careful, because it can often times lead to noisy images. I have heard from guy's that claim they do running shot's of animals and time their shot. Can't see how they do that, time goes by to fast and a nano sec changes every thing. I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm sure that thousands of people do that. While, I personally do not think it is wise to shoot that way, everyone's shooting style is different. Photography is a lot like golf. While there are rules, or guidelines really, like composition, rule of thirds, lighting, ect... You can bend or manipulate them to achieve any creative goal that you have. Again, like golf, there are many different clubs (tools) and styles to play the game and several things can be tweaked here and there to benefit your style. However it is a two way street there are things that will hinder you too. Thank God for digital now, in order to preview your exposure immediately and if needed adjust your composition and shoot again.

Don, I am not a bird guy, but my bif settings are manual, f/5.6 or 8, 1/2000 sec, auto iso, continuous high, af-c, dynamic 21point. I found continuous low too slow of intervals. My lens is the Nikon 200-500 f/5.6. I suspect CH would be best for you catching the dog's right leg position, ear flop, open eye, etc. Rather than trying to time just one shot, I think anticipating it and taking a series to choose the best one would be better a option.

My lens is the Nikon 200-500 f/5.6. RR, How do you like that lens? I was looking at that one in particular for some baseball shots from the outfield, but the minimal F stop left me puzzled. Assuming a lower F stop would be ridiculously expensive, I thought that would be a nice focal length for my son's games.

RR, How do you like that lens? [/quote] I compared the Nikon to the Tamron 150-600 G1 and thought the center sharpness was comparable, and the edges/corners of the Nikon was slightly better than the Tamron. Of course this was a sample of one. Since I use the lens for landscapes also, I went with the Nikon for the sharper edges. If you do not mind the weight, the Sigma 150-600 f/5-6.3 Sport may be a sharper option without getting into primes and much more expense.

Rented it and your right, that is a heavy lens, Sigma is know for that and a lot of times I don't mind. I love the ART lenses, they are an amazing value all things considered.

Freezing the action, especially with water can be a real challenge. Taken with a Nikon D600 50mmF1.8@ F2.2 1/4000sec ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/rJkOnfR.jpg) Same camera with 85mm F1.8 @ F4 1/4000sec ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/IkQExT4.jpg)

When I was first starting out, I was a sponge and googling how to do several different things with my D7000, I wanted to soak up every style, even creative.
Anyone shoot long exposure?

Thank God for digital now, in order to preview your exposure immediately and if needed adjust your composition and shoot again. Thanks for that. I've heard a couple different people say I need to time my shot's rather than CH. I guess I could but I wouldn't have a clue what I'd get!

Thanks for that. I've heard a couple different people say I need to time my shot's rather than CH. I guess I could but I wouldn't have a clue what I'd get!I'd be suspect of doing that. At least shooting on CH, you would see through the view finder a segmented preview of your shots. Then review and delete the undesired pictures. That's is one of my favorite features regarding digital. I don't have to wait on film, which would be costly.
