I actually find shooting fish way more difficult than shooting 100+ mile per hour motorcycles flying past me within inches...

I almost spit my drink across the room reading this... this is exactly what I have been doing. I have saved a dozen pics on my card.... I cannot even begin to guess at how many pics I’ve taken and deleted. (So maybe my sanity is still in tact?)I shot over 5000 one day in Springfield, Il and got maybe 20 really good ones.
Yeah okay so... my fish don’t swim that fast and they are almost all blurry lolNot especially fast. It was a quarter mile short track. Straightaway speeds we're about 65-70.. coming out of the corner like that, maybe 45 mph or so....
I'll have to dig out the shot I got at the Springfield mile that I tried at least 500 frames before I got the one I wanted... 135mph and caught his front wheel on the finish line.
I can almost coint the spokes!Ahh, I found the photo.. Just touching the paint....

That’s a good pic!Cell phone shot....
Gigs and gigs of unusable pictures. Every photo session. Take a thousand photos and get maybe 25-30 that really hit that professional look.
Now imagine not knowing what you had until you hand developed the film and then printed images, that’s how I learned SLR cameras. Rolls and rolls of totally unusable photos and hundreds of hours wasted to maybe get 1 good shot. We’ve got it super easy now in the digital age!
I picked that up on YouTube... and yet I still try to shoot at a downward angle lolThanks, I have found that if I try to shoot thru the water at an angle to the glass, it's way more blurry no matter what I do.
If I'm 100% straight on with the glass, I get a much better shot.
Wow, I hadn’t thought about the power of the instant pic and the delete button until just nowNow imagine not knowing what you had until you hand developed the film and then printed images, that’s how I learned SLR cameras.

I started in 1985, I can relate. Best advice I got from a pro back then was to sit with a trashcan and toss anything that didn't make the cut. Don't keep the trash for any reason.
I still do that, just digitally..

I have picked up on that trick. I linked my iPad directly to my camera. I can even operate the camera using the iPad. Using the bigger screen to set up and take pics has been helpful.When you’re looking at a picture on the screen that you’ve just taken, always zoom in to see if your focus is good, the small screen will lie to you and make you think things are in focus when they aren’t. .
