thanks, guys
Don't be modest. It is still quite difficult to get good teleshots, especially properly exposed like these, in a few seconds.

That ride reminds me of camera lust gone awry. One of the first times I rode it, the driver did the usual "use the action or sports setting in your camera" talk, and the couple behind me was getting a bit agitated because they couldnt find a sports or action setting on their camera. I looked back and they were using a Nikon d300 (which is a semi-pro/pro camera that costs about 1500 dollars and doesnt include these settings because they figured that anyone buying such a camera would know how to use the manual settings).
