[Leica] Mounted shooting competition

[H&ECummer]

Hi Leo,
Ah yes - the D4 effect. I have one and use it to good results with my flying eagle pictures.
Another question: What shutter speed did you finally settle on?
Thanks
Howard
PS: Again - a great series.

Hi Howard,

I was using my D4 that shoots a bunch of frames per second but  I also
tried shooting single frame to see how that would;  my success rate was
about the same, it's just with the hi fps, it's a little more random.
There was a bit of experimentation about what shutter speed and ISO to use,
too fast and the sparks wouldn't show up and too slow and the horse and
rider wouldn't be sharp.  I shot for about 4 hours, 2800 frames.  About 80
of those had pretty good timing and reasonably good focus/sharpness. 29 of
those 80 had pretty good composition and movement.  12 of those 29 were
better than the rest and I chose 7 of those 12 to publish on the web.

Thanks for looking!
