What you get when your camera jumps focus just as you shoot -- kinda pretty, actually

Notes to self:

1. When shooting landscapes, don't try to take an "all of a sudden" BIF shot, w/o changing settings.
2. When shooting BIF, remember 300mm or a fake 450mm is just not much.
3. Set up another body with two Tamzookas, taped end to end for "all of a sudden" BIF or action" shots.
4. "...Man's got to know his limitations." Then walk away...
