These are a few of about a 10 shot burst of this guy as he jumped from a light pole. I was about 50' away using a 300 f/4 with tcon on the 40D. All but one shot were in focus. I was impressed by AI Servo on this one....

The more I use and get familiar with this camera, the more I love it.

It requires more skill than technology to get shots like these Mike....I know because I have a 40D and don't get results like yours :) Now I have to go buy a 300 f/4 (good job I already have the TC ):) :)

I stand corrected! Thank you!!!

I'm still clueless when it comes to raptors. Ducks? Can identify them on the wing from hundreds of yards....raptros? I'm still a puppy:oops:

Wow. You really are making me want that camera! The only problem is I can't find a store to sell me talent to equal yours.

Wow,

Cracking series - the more BIF shots I see with the 40D my aspirations for a 1D mk2 N reduce.

Love the colours
