I assume you are talking about the Olympus OM 1 M II. I had a similar experience my first time trying it out for bird photos. Took hours to review and delete photos. You got some very nice shots.
Thanks Oldpsych, No I was trying out the A9III. Had a few days with it now and getting a bit more comfortable with it. Haven't had a need for the 120 per second, seems overkill for what I do, but the prerecord seems like it will be useful once I get use to it.

I tried out a new camera while on the lake Saturday. My other two cameras are in the shop. They had a good run, one is over 6 years old and the other 4. Unfortunately I had not set up this new camera. It has a feature that buffers shots before you snap a picture. That combined with another feature of 120 shot per second, created more material than I could ever wish for. I ended up deleting over 20,000 raw files. Over 500 gigs of material. Thinking I was taking one shot was a burst at the smallest duration 30 shots. I always tend to overshoot, but I have met my match. I knew it was taking more shots than I wanted but didn't know how extreme it was... Plus side the camera clears the buffer awfully fast. Sunday was spent deleting files. Total rookie mistake. Now it is set up correctly. Here are a few pictures I didn't delete. All from a kayak on Willow Lake.

Beautiful photos. The kayak photo would have scared me. I’d be afraid of damaging my camera.
I am reserved to the fact that I will damage my cameras. I treat them as tools, and if I were to limit my self I wouldn't get shots I normally get. Also the kayak I have is incredibly stable with a hands free, peddle drive. It has a water proof compartment. The biggest problem I have is shoot off a moving platform that bobs horizontally and vertically. High ISO and Shutter speeds to compensate. I have to try new things so my hobby doesn't get stale

Taking a break from posting Watson Lake pictures, I went to Granite Basin. I once timed my drive to the gates when I first moved here, it was just under 5 minutes. The landscape shots were taken from the same location turning the camera in opposite directions. First Southeast of Thumb Butte, and the second Northwest of Granite Mountain.

Thanks, It's like target practice. They are more difficult for me to shoot than hummingbirds, less predictable.Beautiful captures. And kudos to those posting swallows in-flight photos. = They are fast!
