Wonderful shots, loving the detail.

Do you get those "within a second" shots by some sort of burst mode or something?

[Prezwoodz]

Your crazy...those shots are awesome!! :)

Thanks folks, much appreciated.

Shima, yes its a burst shot of 4 frames a second but only up to 6 shots. Thats the most I can squeeze out of the FZ10, but its more than most. I have got another sequence where all 6 turned out fine.

All the best all and thanks again :wink

Hi Danny,
Strange, I can't see the pictures from work (I really shouldn't be looking from there), but I see them fine from home. Oh well.

Outstanding series. Guess I need to relook at your site again to see the other sets. Always a pleasure because I see something that I overlooked before.
