I agree: A great photo.

What can you tell us about your setup? Camera, tripod position, etc.?

-Chet

WHAT!? and give my secrets away.......sure.

Canon 20D. EF-s 17-85 Lens. ( I got lazy and did not want to swap it for the 70-200L on the dusty range) camera is clamped to a plastic 55gal barrel.

Around 25 feet from lens to subject. Program mode, -1/2 stop E.V. Auto white balance. Lens maxed @ 85mm. Shutter release set to drive mode.

Pocket Wizzard II remote. I don't have access to the exif data here at work, but f11 @1/350 and ISO 200 would be a SWAG.

AF set to servo on center point.

Center weighted exposure

Image is nearly a 100% crop. Shoulda used the 70-200.

Great shot!

Only thing better than a shot of a shooters face with smoke and flying brass in them would be muzzle flash and a frozen bullet.

I suspect you will get one before I do!

A heartfelt thanks one and all!

I'm trying to get some photo practice in at the minor matches so I can still put in a good effort as a competitor AND

capture some good photos at the major matches.

It is tougher for me than I had anticipated.

More to come.
