[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 73141, member: 10543"] Here's one shot in Catawba, South Carolina. I was fortunate to get this, as I absent-mindedly left the camera on the Auto setting instead of Shutter Priority to adjust my settings and gain a faster shutter speed. I like shooting trains at 1/500 to be sure there will be no blur. Live and learn. [ATTACH=CONFIG]15441._xfImport[/ATTACH] Do y'all ever get "buck fever" when a stunning action shot is unfolding and you want to hit the shutter button at the perfect moment, but get nervous as your eye rapidly darts all over the viewfinder to assure composition and you shake the camera a tiny bit in anticipation? This shot wasn't one of those, but I find myself (a) carrying a tripod more frequently than I used to and (b) wanting to learn more about the Continuous shooting mode on my D5100. I'm still carrying paradigms of K-64 Slide Film where every shot mattered! :D [/QUOTE]
