Tactical Ejection

My favorite shot from my training yesterday. One of my jobs is photographic documentation of our training. It's a great way to practice my work and my hobby at the same time. I love the smoke trail from the ejected shell casing.

cool shot. What shutter speed did you use to catch that?

[Skippy29]

Yeah that's great, perfect timing.

Sorry, should have put that in the original post but it was shot with XTI with a 70-200F4L. Settings were AI Servo, continuous mode 1/1000 at F4.0. ISO=400. I anticipated the shot and then just held the shutter button down. Took about 10 shots in the series just as he was firing.

I'm not sure which model that is but it's a sniper's rifle. You shouldn't be able to see it........it's supposed to be decorated with camoflauge.:razz: I do know that it fires a .308 round. Makes a heck of a noise...that's for sure. They are fun to shoot. Got one of my own but it's a standard Remington 700 .308.

cool, the smoke is still coming off the shell.

At quick glance it looks like a bullet just plopped out of the barrell. :)
cool photo!
