I don't visit this site often anymore :(

But, I took my S2 to SeaWorld yesterday and I liked one in particular. Hope you all like it...

Yes great capture - I took my first digi cam to Sea World about 4 years ago & all I got was tails :( , shutter lag was awfull & I wasn't used to the camera either.

Very nice shot swgod98. From the angle you shot him it looks like you were sitting pretty close to the water...in the splash zone! :eek:
I shot that oversized sardine too about 2.5 years ago, it's a beautiful animal.

Yes, the sun was just coming out and the kids we were with wanted to sit in the soak zone. I was like, helll no! But, I was overrulled :D

We ended up sitting in the 12th row. The soak zone goes out to the 16th. I figured the 12th row wouldn't get "that" wet. Luckily, I was right. Not a drop of water on me! But, I did have a backpack opened and ready to toss the camera in! hehe :)

You can (sort of) get a better idea of how far back I was from this picture...

Here's my version of the picture you posted. Once I remembered how to set the camera to high speed mode, I was pumpin' out the pictures left and right :D

I really like the S2, and I can't believe it's now nearly half as much as it used to be!

Thanks for the comments everyone.
