Romeo was on the shed roof, checking if he had not forgotten something juicy. I was under the veranda, sitting after some hard work in the garden. I was looking at my friend through my camera lens when he decided to fly away. I clicked at the right moment to get a piece of the action :)) Not technically a very good photo but one that I like, even if I cut a bit of his left wing off !
Some action in the Port of Tacoma, WA on a very cold and clear December evening. I nearly froze my fingers in just a few minutes so the Longshoremen must be really prepared for this. It's a 4 shot HDR in Lightroom that tamed the crazy bright lights and contrast.
Thank you for your warm and kind visits my friends; you are very much appreciated! :)

Great Egret departing its perch on the railing of the boardwalk at Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas, flying into the unknown. An experiment with the FZ300 in good light (09:34am, which is much better than in low light, e.g 0713am).
Little Ringed Plovers in action.
For this type of shots I usually use the Shutter Priority Mode with ISO Auto.
Here I used shutterspeed 1/5000 which gave a result of ISO 3200.

Usually the black-crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) sit very still on a branch, they look like a stuffed bird! But this time there was some action: one of the 3 black-crowned night herons moved and actually opened its wings. A good photo opportunity!

Freezing motion
There are essentially two ways to freeze motion with a camera:
1.Use a Fast Shutter Speed such that the “sliver of time” you are capturing is very short and the object being captured moves very little, if at all, during the extremely short duration the shutter is open, or
2.Use the very Short Duration of a Flash so that the object you are photographing gets illuminated for a very small sliver of time. The duration time of an electronic flash can be extremely short. For example, a Speedlight like the Canon 580EXII at 1/128 power is less than 1/19,000th of a second!
Hilarious... had a lot of fun with this. I tried without flash... dismal results, but not really the right lens for the job, so resorted to flash. Even then, focus was not that good but hey, I tried :-) Spent an hour at least... Remote control and tripod, plenty of timing issues... After a break, I tried again, with a helper dropping the pepper, better result...

Royal Tern Action - On Saturday when I visited Fort Desoto to look for migrating birds these Royal Terns were getting frisky on the beach.
Dreamy and Ethereal. That’s how I would describe the scene of the cypress swamps. Our instructors Rajesh and Kevin just returned from our Cypress Swamps adventure. I can’t wait to see what they captured this year!
Welcome to the first gallery of three, with a focus on Action shots:

Along with perfect timing and finding the right vantage point, capturing great action takes a good dose of luck to frame that perfect scene. Today's selection showcases exceptional works of Action shared to the group.
Enjoy, and look forward to the Atmosphere gallery up next.
