Clay Shoot

[scorpion_tyr]

Every year I volunteer to photograph a charity clay shoot. It's a lot of fun, and it can be extremely challenging as well. This year the weather was not on my side at all, but I think I managed all right. Just thought I would share some of these shots. C&C is always welcome!

Nice set. I like how you captured the spread in the first one. I like the composition in no. 4, too.

Were you shooting multi-shot, or did you have impeccable timing and luck? Some beautifully timed images.

Yeah, good timing and some cool shots! Neat to see the clays and the shot charge and shot cups in so many of these!

I really like 5 and 6. The clay pigeon just starting to break apart is awesome.

Thanks y'all! It was a combination of rapid fire and timing. Each one was from a burst of 3-5 shots starting about half a second after the pull call. Even at 1/8000th and 5.3 FPS these were pretty difficult to get, composition, and bad weather made these some of the most technically challenging as well.
