    ... Unless you want to shoot sequences like this.

    Continuous burst of 5. At a slower burst rate, I'd have missed the critical moment.

    These moments are nearly impossible to follow with our human eyes. I track swallows (as best as I can) and if a swallow changes course abruptly, I squeeze a burst. It's a fairly reliable way of capturing a feeding sequence. Since getting my OM-1, my success rate has shot through the roof!

    Which moment here was "critical"?

    Eating the bug?

    OP, that’s a cool shot.

    The OM-1 is quite a capable device considering sports and action I'd say. Thanks for sharing these.

    Great sequence from someone else who can't decide between this site and micro43.org! 😀

    Good to see the EXIF available on this site.

    That was the critical moment. Lunch!
    Seems like a huge energy output by the bird for such a small reward. I guess the search for food never stops in the natural world.
