Often heard, seldom seen by me. Nice.
I had been following him for months and before that I was spying where all the wee holes in the trees where to get some indication of the preference. Next time I hope to get a crisper shot of him, my AF point just missed his eye. f/5.6 should have had enough DOF, but meh. Also the day I take the Z6 instead of the D500 which would have put more pixels on him.

Here is a bison statue at the Nature Center of the Battelle Darby Creek Park in Columbus, OH. This statue was created by Michael "Smitty" Smith, according to a plaque near the statue.

The park has a bison herd, which I am hoping to get more pictures of in the future.

The way I'm interpreting this is that he shot it in slow-motion with the video component on his iPhone camera and then took a frame from that to create a "still" image, then did a little tinkering in an iOS editing app to make any needed adjustments and that was that..... The problem for me is that it doesn't look real, looks as though the cat image was just stuck/inserted into another image rather like a composite is done, because in spite of the cat's outstretched leg position obviously showing him in motion there is no indication or sense of movement in the same way in which one would achieve that by "panning" with a still camera. In that kind of shot the cat would be clear but the background would be nicely blurred, suggesting speed and movement.

By analogue do you mean film? Why wouldn’t this work with film?
I have been interested in asking "what's different about the digital?" for about forty years or so. Usually that is in relation to an end product. I'm curious about differences in what can be done at capture & post process in the digital domain that could not be done before, if any.

I’m not sure if this is relevant for your question, but we had this discussion awhile back.

Yes, exactly. I shot a small video on my iPhone - just a few seconds - and then I paused it at the moment you see in the picture and did a screenshot. I then made a few basic edits in Snapseed. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it's how I did it.

I have to say; when compared to many of you on here I am a complete novice. I don't even know how to do many of the things I see and read about - but I'm trying to learn! As for the cat being inserted into another image - that is beyond my capabilities! ?
