i do think b.d. wins this round. it's a fantastic photo. looks like he was
hired to take it and had the full cooperation of a crew of technicians and
an hour to work on getting the best shot.

there have been times when i had my trusty leica but didn't have time to
switch lenses to get the shot that popped up in front of me unexpectedly,
but them's the breaks. you go as prepared as you need to be. i've also had
the #$@#$ing nikon not focus when i press the button, which is maddening. or
even worse, hunt in a place that a dead beagle wouldn't go looking.
