Timing is Everything

This photo perfectly illustrates why timing is everything in photography. You can have the most perfect scene arranged, you can have the most perfect light ready but if your players aren't ready to perform or you are a moment too late then shots like this will be lost forever.

To help capture these kinds of moments, I tend to set my camera to take sequential photos and will just hold down my shutter button. It requires more cleanup afterwards but if you end up with a winner like this then it is most definitely worth it.

The good folks at one of the LolDog sites left a comment that this photo had been made into a LolDog. Check it out. Some other pretty funny pics and captions to enjoy there too.

This is art. Just came across this fantastic photo in my contacts stream and am in love with it. The focus is perfect, the Osprey is intense, the half a fish is gruesome and the waiting babies are hungry. I not only favorited it but I made it my desktop picture as well.

I want to take these kinds of photos but I need a stronger telephoto with some image stabilization to get there.

Probably not a big deal in this day of everyone and their dog having a cell phone but still kind of odd to see both phones completely torn out of their mounts. By the way, when we pulled up to the gas station these were in, there was a dad with his son having a bonding moment while the little boy took a leak into the bushes on the right. I waited until they were done before snapping some pics lest they think I was a nutcase.
