Drive By Shooting

[Speed]

Taken while travelling 70 MPH on I 55 in Arkansas. I would spot the bird, roll down the window, and shoot at 5 fps while passing it. Got a great workout on panning. Looks to me like they are all Red Tail Hawks.

For those who might be curious, D200, 80-200mm f2.8, RAW mode. These are simple batch conversions to Jpegs, and cropped and resized for PR. I'm going to do some real post processing on the RAW files when I get the time.

Speed - so were you driving and shooting at the same time? If so, that's darn good one-handed shooting or some good knee-steering.

10 and 2, buddy, 10 and 2. Unless you're a 9 and 3 kind of guy

not too bad for driveby's. I have been known to aim a 400 in the air while driving with my knee

I should have clarified - my buddy Brad was driving, I was riding shotgun.

Panning and shooting through a telephoto lens while driving is incredibly dangerous.

A man's got to know his limitations!

Thank you! I thought they came out fairly well, all things considered.

"I have been known to aim a 400 in the air while driving with my knee"

Why am I not surprised?!

Technically, I was riding and shooting.

But the hawks were shot while we drove by, hence the "drive by shooting" title.

Peter Pan is every man - none of us want to grow up!

That second one is especially good. Looks like a great way to practice panning!
