Very nice action shot Ian,
You might want to crop from the bottom and the top of your frame to make it a pano... In my opinion it would flow better and make the motion come out of your cat...:D
Agree on the crop but would degrade the image even more Has suffered from the crop already Love the in the air pose Does give a sense of speed Did you catch any other poses? Great panning !!!!
Thanks Gus and Alfred.
Here is another picture taken shortly afterwards ( in burst mode)
Alfred: I expected problems with using TC so prefocussed on expected run course and took all shots on manual focus.
Gus:See next post in thread.
Thank you. I like the pano.

Hi Ian We are going to have a gallery for Essays so you can do just what you have done here Post four or five telling a story Will leave this time No harm
All are in manual focus !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing !!!
I guess the neatest pose it the last one since you can see the cat up close It does show the image not being critically sharp around the face It is a very good image none the less Pose wise I'm torn between the lay out and the legs together Tough to decide
An after thought These would have been sweet with a lower shutter speed blurring the bg !!!! Neat !!!
Thanks Al
The problem with manual focus even near infinity taking burst shots over 100 yards or so meant that some were a bit more out of focus.
Will have to work on it.
Bit doubtful of getting sharp image with slower shutter speed.
A fast 500mm AF lens would be nice for that, but then trees in foreground might be a problem !!!
