Thanks. I've used that method myself a few times. However at this point in the evening I'd had about three beers and 4 hours sleep the previous two nights! Wasn't really thinking that clearly.
Got a tip for us?

I think the focus would have been better on the head/body rather than the farthest wing.
Yes probably. I was handholding the 200-500 so wasn't really heading out for this type of shot. I still liked it even with the wing rather than the head in focus.
Next time I'll not leave my macro lens at home!
Have had several nice trips to Ethiopia, food, coffee and great people.

An evening shot - featureless sky but decent su-colour. Comments always appreciated.

Yes, different folks are into different things; life would be boring if we all had the same passion. Capturing / documenting moments of action is my buzz. This one was snapped at the 2015 Phuket Rugby 10's. For the lass pictured, it was her first try in a real game of rugby; a moment to treasure for her.
I seldom use multi-shot unless I want to capture a sequence, such as a bowler's action in cricket. I concentrate on anticipating and capturing the moment
Try @ Phuket Rugby 10s, Thanyapura, Phuket - Fujifilm X20; ISO 100, f 3.2 @ 1/850 sec.
Don't you just love it when someone won't get out of your way for the shot? A 6 image panorama at the wide end of my lens (24mm) on a full-frame camera. This was supposed to actually be a long exposure panorama, but someone forgot to take his remote trigger with him! Doh!

I hold no brief against tattoos - or piercings - but I do sometimes wonder what motivates a woman to re-decorate an already perfect canvas...
(No criticism from me about the photograph. Excellent control of lighting and composition.)

It was a gloomy, sometimes rainy day….. should have been using a higher ISO and faster shutter speed.

In a change from the usual landscape shots I'd normally take in DC, here's probably my first people-shot on the forum. Trombonist and drummer at a Peace Corp celebration on the lawns of the Capitol building. Tried to take Micky Do's helpful pointers into account. Comments always appreciated.
