A longer focal length and the resulting longer distance from your subject also mean that your subject moves slower towards you relative to the shooting distance. That makes it easier to frame and focus the moving subject.

Was going to ask that question - thanks for the answer

I was sure that somewhere I'd seen that newer DSLRs would allow you to choose whether the first shot was shutter RELEASE priority (as I described above, where the first shot would be soft), or focus priority (where it won't necessarily take a shot right away, but when it does it should be good).

I see where I saw this now. On my 7D. Custom function III-2, you'll want set to 0. What I describe above, from an old paper discussing the EOS-1, is setting 3. I have no idea what the default is. The whole set of custom functions relating to AI servo tracking starting on Page 225 of the manual. If you've lost yours, there are links at the end of the reviews on this site.

A few more of our Gus. Still working on getting a good indoor photo of him, guess I need to start learning about speedflashes.

Just restored all my photos from a backup drive and loaded into Lightroom, so I've been browsing through 56GB of pictures. I need to delete stuff. But I found this one that I took of my dog when I was playing around with the 100mm macro lens:

Mark,

There's an orange tabby named Oliver at my local Wild Birds store. Nice cat images.

Thanks, Dave. It was very nice of them to cooperate and take turns posing for me.

Shots from our final event of my winter holidays, more snow frisbee.
