Alone on the beach, Alpha and 1.4 tele/75-300 in hand, image stabilization on..... along comes this opportunity. Shot at 300mm (x 1.5 crop factor and x 1.4 Tele= 630mm effective). He even waived after I took this shot, knowing I got it. I just gave him a thumbs up. I took 1 shot only. I pre focused on a spot particular focal length and panned until he became sharp, then took it . I feel pretty lucky to have been in the right place at the right time. And since I had been practicing on birds all day, I had the nack of capturing things in motion by that time. My first real "action" shot. Enjoy,
