But, even with my 8.3 frames per second EOS 1D MkII, you still have to press the shutter at the right time. As far as the DMR goes, the speed seems about the same as when the motor winder was attached, maybe a touch quicker. I tend to fire one shot at a time. For that scene, I had two shots, but rather than just holding down the button, I fired the first shot, released and then fired another when I saw them get up. With my EOS, I probably could have held the button down, got the first shot and some shots of them getting up, but I may not have got the player in black with both feet off the ground . Here is the first frame I fired, cropped into the action, then the shot I originally posted, which was the second frame I fired, and finally the full frame image to see that even with a 400mm it needed a bit of a crop. I think I was standing just to the right of the goal and the action would have been at half field or so. Here is the first frame I fired. http://www.robsteve.com/FM/L-1060309.jpg The second frame, cropped a bit closer than what I originally posted. http://www.robsteve.com/FM/L-1060210CRP.jpg The full frame of the above image. http://www.robsteve.com/FM/L-1060310sm.jpg Regards, Robert Ted Grant wrote: But at 2 fps one has to question the DMR as a sport coverage piece of equipment. If that is the case I'd be using film and R8-9 motor drive or another type of camera. But as we see here in continuous mode, even at 2 fps, one doesn't require any faster . ;-) Great instinct for action Robert as you've shown so often.
