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.

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.
