You can take a movie if you can anticipate the probable event.Then just play it back and stop the movie at the point of action.Take a screenshot, edit it and save the frame.I did that when I had a hawk eyeballing some dead starlings on my backyard deck that I set out for him.Ever live in a house with lightning rods that took a hit? Quite an experience!
Nothing man can paint dream up or imagine that compares to Mother Natures beauty and wrath at time, great pics. Ed
