Terry, great story and image.

First time I have messed with high-speed continuous on my X-T2. This is one frame my wild backyard cat Smokey rolling around in the gravel during an 11 FPS burst. Pretty impressive that the blackout is almost non-existent in the EVF, a HUGE improvement from the X-T1. This was shot from across my modest sized pool at 200mm. I may now have to pickup the Fuji 100-400 and give it a try, as they are throwing in the 1.4 at no additional cost at the moment.

This one actually made me nervous. When I approached with the flashlight to set up the camera and tripod, the spider wiggled down like a cat getting ready to pounce. With Macro work the lens is very close to the subject, and I manual focus for most of my shots, which means my hand out in front of the camera in the dark only a few inches from the crouching spider.

Great photo, but Jeebus do I hate spiders!

Saw this beauty fly over this afternoon. I hope to be able to get it facing the light tomorrow instead of out of the sun. Consolidated B-24 Liberator, "Witchcraft"

^^^^Very cool.

I was shooting a university project at a cemetery in southern IL last year. I had my 70-200 f2.8 IS on my 5D MkIII and set to EV +2 because I was shooting into shadowy trenches. I heard an airplane coming over the nearby treeline and looked up to see a similar airplane flying over. Maybe 200ft over our heads. It had just taken off from the nearby airfield. By the time I got my camera reset, he was gone. Luckily it seems you were ready or quicker on the reset than I. Great shot.

I have C3 set on all my bodies for shutter priority at 1/160 and ISO 100 for just such situations

Yea - - - It's Witchcraft Day! Not as clean as yours Ed, plus that nice blue background! For me, APSC + 192mm + ISO200 + Crop = Noise

[Itsed65]

Well I tried to get the B-24 again but we had some very uncommon weather for June here yesterday and that changed all the flight paths around so I had no idea what was going to fly where. I had to "settle" on the B-25. It is very hard to get a sharp shot with prop blur in the best conditions, but the wind was screaming here and then it started to rain

I was working on a church work crew, out on the Great Plain, just East of the Rocky Mountains, in East Aurora, CO. One of our leaders received a text saying that her good friend had been taken off life support, about when we started work. Then we saw this:

Scrawny little guy. Same critter as above but different cameara and lens. 5DIV at 700mm versus 1DIV at 400mm.

I looked at it Large on Flickr and I think that he might be blind in that right eye. The vegetation would make you think that hunting is good, but he doesn't look it. ;-(

[Itsed65]

Yeah there has to be millions of mice and voles out there, but he seems to be at a disadvantage. Nature is not always kind.

This was well captured and is super crisp but Goodness gracious I applaud you for having the guts to do it.
