Shooting Skeet w/ a 5DMkII

[Brad Remick]

Gray day but the 5DmkII seemed to focus fine. The first is of the trap exploding. The second is of the lead shot in the air missing the trap. ISO was @ 2000.

Amazing stuff.

[Randy McBum.]

Must be great to be able to capture these shots being able to get in focus and all but they dont make good pics but its great to show performance of 5D

Never seen shots like this, Look cool and different. weldone

[Don Grant]

Very cool. That second shot amazes me.

[Brad Remick]

Randy, I agree they don't make particularly good pictures. I was pretty amazed that the 5DII would lock focus that fast.

[AdamLewis]

It didnt lock focus on the second one...

[Cole_Schmitt]

#1 is amazing!

[Brad Remick]

Thanks Cole. Adam, I disagree. It locked on the shot pellets. they were moving kinda fast too. It didn't lock on the trap. Thats is correct.

Im sorry man. Having owned a number of Canon cameras including the 5D2, I know their limitations. They dont lock focus fast enough to single out and focus on shot flying through the air at hundreds of feet per second. No camera does (at least anything Canon makes readily available to the public). Fact is, it missed focus on the clay and you got lucky with the shot. If you think differently, youre kidding yourself.

This was a total coincidence and has nothing to do with true camera capability. If you really believe it does, go out and produce multiple shots like this in a row and post the results.

Having a camera lock focus and track #7 or #8 shot doing 1350 FPS is not going to happen.

Cool shots though.....

Looks like it's time to clean your sensor. :)

Here is one I took of my ten year old and another of a friend shooting for fun.

wow you must have good timing.. isn't the 5dmii only 3.9fps ... unlike the mark iii 10fps

good photo even @ 2000 iso!

Very nice, you can even see the shot.
