Well, I at least was pleased at catching this sequence (even if the fish wasn’t)

    Awesome set friend! I love when water droplets are frozen in the air. What aperture and shutter speed did you use here? I’m guessing at least 1/2500s for the shutter speed.

      Thank you.

      There is a particular joy to catching drops in the air, isn’t there? And pleasingly, really slow shots of moving water are also fun.

      Those are 1/1250s, and I can rarely get good enough light to push it beyond that speed with my setup. Aperture set to minimum for 800mm which is 6.3

      The ISO is set to auto, but chose ISO500 for at least one of those - quality detectably starts to fall off around ISO2000, so perhaps I could have risked faster if I knew what was coming.

        1/1250s, interesting. I wonder if I’ll get better results with my new camera body.
