I used a 1D Mark III for the burst and buffer rate when shooting the fast paced action, and a 1Ds Mark III for the slower paced imagery.Choosing the right tool for the job at hand allowed me to maximize the image making potential.

1D Mark III, 70-200 @ 200mm
Manual, Eval off river bank (no comp), 1/1000 @ f/5, ISO 400
Post-production- LR2, CS4

See you where there is light, or at the computer

Best,

Chas, Nice action captured and well framed.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The dynamic pose, splash and composition make this one for me. I also like the sharpening since these droplets look easily oversharpened.

[Grace Scalzo]

Love the action, Chas. Perfectly captured.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Chas,
You really nailed the radial swirl of the battle. The dark grass BG really makes it stand out too. Very nicely done!

[Kiran Khanzode]

I like the elliptical water orbit around the bear and how he is emerging from the midst of it... too good, great action.

[Harshad Barve]

Fantastic action Chas

Chas,
This is a lovely image. You have captured the water droplets nicely. The diagonal water is like Saturn with its asteroids moving around it. I like it.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wonderful action image Chas. The water spray is super plus its great to see the bear's face as well.

[Subharghya]

The pattern made buy the flying droplets is Spectacular !!! Very Well Done !!

[Krijn Trimbos]

The water drops emphasize the movent and its direction which makes this shot for me. Love the fish and setting also. Congrats!

[Tim Rucci]

I really like this. Often when I see photos with water droplets, they obstruct some of the action and detract from the image. But not here. I guess the perfect timing in this shot is made easier with a high speed burst. It really worked well in this image. I would be proud to have captured it. Well done, Chas.

Super action shot, perfect focus with the head and salmon peering nicely through all the droplets. Nice work.
