Bullfight.
Not been able to post of late due to time away and computer issues. Computer may not be in working order tomorrow (or possible near future) so apologies for not posting many replies.
However, a shot from a pretty poor weekend last week (weather, travel and camera muppetry..don't ask!). Two bull seals chased each other and then got into a terrific fight. This is full frame other than a slight crop off right. Shame the left hand seal is partialy out of the frame but I was shooting from a fixed distance with a fixed lens so I took what I could.
500mm
tripod
1/200 @ f4.5
iso 400

Great action grab in this one. Good stuff indeed. The one in the background looks really turned on !
I must get out the house more ! :wink: :biggrin:
Cheers

I wouldn't worry about the clipped tail as the action more that makes up for it, cracking shot Robert.

Nice action shot...you cant really plan too well for Bull shot...it happens and its over....if your not in position your not in position. Really like the fact that there is a bit of action blur in this.
