8 frames a second very necessary to capture such fleeting moments from a moving boat.

Terrific capture. High ISO, fast shutter speeds and rapid fire combined to make sure you got the perfect shot.

Thanks David, light levels of course much higher out there. I'm pleased the move to a much more portable telephoto lens in the new 55 to 300mm paid off. My 300 star was way to bulky for travel.
