Here's some practice shots with the Canon 7D MKII. Settings were AI-Servo, AF point expansion, Case 2, 1st and 2nd image priority to "focus", ISO auto with max set at 800, 1/2000, F7.1 or F8.0. Still trying to figure out the very best settings.

I'm not familiar with your camera and lens Lamar, but to me they are fantastic captures. Things like sharpness, feather detail and shading look great and this is not related, but the difference that the downloads make in viewing is almost unbelievable!

Thanks Ed! I'm still bouncing back and forth with the case settings but I do think Case 2 is probably best for me.

I love the three, skimmers are so much fun to shoot and you can usually get some good water action. You managed to do well.
I would say you get your settings pretty well now. I'd have to look at my camera to be sure but I think that's where my settings are. Jim D
