I had the opportunity to shoot some wakeboarding at a cable park this weekend. I have a Canon T6 and a 55-250mm lens and neither of them are very fast but I think I got some decent shots. This was one of my first attempts to try shooting sports. Please let me know what you think.

Neat-o! I love that you caught the shadow in the last shot. My thought about #1 is that it's kind of between an "oops" blur and a purposeful blur. At only ISO 100, you had plenty of leeway to use a faster shutter speed to get a crisp stop-action, if you wanted to try. I'm curious if you had on burst/continous mode and also if you tried panning on any? If you haven't come across the term yet:

Linda I was shooting in continuous mode and panning on some of the shots. I was using back button focus and my camera would stop shooting after about 4 or 5 bursts. It just couldn't keep up with focusing and shooting that fast. (You get what you pay for) I was shooting in aperture priority and probably should have moved it to shutter priority as well. I liked the shadow as well. I did another crop where it is just the shadow and the spray of water. It looks like the shadow is creating the spray.

My new-to-me Olympus EM10 works fast, but a little bit of that could be the card. With the sx50 I hadn't considered that possibly I wasn't using the fastest write-speed card I could have been. Your shadow/spray water sounds cool!Jul 21, 2018 10:58:07 #
Really cool shots - what a fun day
I liked to panning shots a lot. Were you able to catch any shots of skiers coming off the top of the ramp?

I haven't had chance to go through them all but here is one. Not as sharp as the others though.
