Cheetah Run

[Rick50]

Speaking of continuous mode of action subjects.....

I tried some panning of a Cheetah at the zoo. I only had one chance and I did not have a big view.
Settings were:
Continuous Mode shooting (slow speed). Should have been high speed.
Focal Length - 200mm.
Shutter 1/200. (Shutter priority mode)
Aperture - 4.5 ( too big)
ISO 100.

My own critique is I should have went full manual (only ISO in auto) at 1/500 and F/8.

Any comments appreciated.

Still, very nice action shots. I particularly like the last one.
