    Outstanding sequence, Russ. clap.gif

    I take it those are all consecutive shots from a burst? Were you using Servo mode? They're all nice and crisp.

    I was hoping no one would ask that question :D
    Well Joel, to answer your question, yes and no.
    Actually, #3, 4, & 5 are in sequence. #1 & #2 were taken before and after it flew from the second brance.
    This order just tells a better story.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    This particular sequence was taken with a 300 f4L IS + 1.4TC on a 20D mounted on a tripod with the IS disengaged.
