Practicing under nearly perfect conditions.
I have other shots of this but cannot share, as his S2-IS was handed off between my brother and I and I cant tell which shot belongs to who, but I specifically remember this shot. His autofocus was tweaking out big time, and his manual focus didnt work at all. Just a year ago, the camera worked perfectly for me, but this time, 90% of my shots didnt turn out...I suspect wear and tear due to his addiction to salt water activity.
