Holy cow! Those shots are worthy of a National Geographic three-fold page. Wish my own eyeballs could see it all so sharp. Thanks for the photo, Doug!

Thanks for posting this image KTNA! I have been asked by several folks how I got these shots. I used a 500mm f/8 reflex lens with exposures ranging from 1/500th of a second to 1/2 a second on the last image. The ISO was at 200 to minimize graininess.
I simply stitched the exposures together on a blank Photoshop canvas to create the sequential effect.

Doug,
You’re welcome! Thank you for sending us these and other photos. Thanks as well for providing the technical information. Diana is a deep forest green with envy.
