Thanks Jack. Anything much bigger than web sized shows that the focus is
either on the cat's tail or the foliage behind him. The last shot was a
pre-leap anticipation - unfortunately my reflexes are not cat-like so by
the time I pushed the shutter button when he jumped he was way out of
the frame!

They look decent to me, Mark. Don't know if I'd try a continuous shutter

best to attempt anticipating the leap and concentrate on staying on the head
for a shot. Would likely distract him if you started the burst a bit too soon.
Something to play at.

My cat and I were hanging in the yard on this first truly warm day so
far this year and decided to try for some action shots. Didn't quite
pull it off though - not sure if I just blew it, or the K3 and DA 17-70
kept back focusing, or if the cat was too fast. He gave me three tries
though and then light was too dim... Definitely something I will be
working on in the days ahead...
This is sorta like sports photography - any advice about how to get the
eyes sharp and the tailed blurred (instead of the other way around)
would be appreciated.
