You can still obtain 8fps when shooting RAW. The only difference is that you can maintain that speed for approximately 15 consecutiveframesvs. 94 when shooting jpeg. Those figures are from the 7D manual by the way and will vary based on what ISO, whatyou are shooting and what speed of CF card you are using. The point is though that unless your typical bursts last more than 15 frames then you should definitely take advantage of the countless benefits of shooting RAW!


As for your pictures...I think you got some good captures. wickerprints definitely had some good suggestions. I believe your 300 f/4 has IS rated for 2 stops so on your 7D you can probably lose the tripod unless you are shooting less than 1/125th or so. Keep shooting and be sure to share your results!
