Shark & Macro
Shark
Macro, ever chase a high‑stakes moment where the prey and predator collide at the edge of a cliff? I thrive on the rush—let's see who can nail that adrenaline shot first.
Macro
I hear you, but I’m more into that tense pause before the jump, the stillness that builds the real drama. If you can catch the predator’s eye just before it leaps, that’ll be a masterpiece. Just remember safety first and keep a good distance—wildlife isn’t a game. Let me know if you need any tips on lenses or timing.
Shark
Sounds good—just give me that split second, no pause for doubt. Keep the distance, keep the focus, and I’ll make it count. Tell me the gear and the clock; I’m ready to win this moment.
Macro
Use a full‑frame sensor, 24‑mm f/2.8 for the wide background, 300‑mm f/2.8 for the predator, set the camera to continuous burst at 10‑12 fps, ISO 400. The shutter‑priority mode will lock the shutter at 1/1600 s, letting the frame rate decide exposure. Set the timer to start the burst 5 seconds before you anticipate the leap, so you’ll get the split‑second when the prey bursts. Stay 150‑200 m away, keep a tight focus on the predator’s eyes, and trust the gear—then capture that instant.

Got the gear set, I’m ready—let's make that leap unforgettable. I’ll lock in the focus, keep the burst, and capture the predator’s split‑second. Let’s get it.
Macro
Sounds like the plan—focus tight, keep the burst, and wait for that instant when the predator jumps. When you see the movement, let the camera do its thing and trust the gear. I’ll be ready to review the shots and help tweak the next shot if needed. Good luck, and stay safe out there.

Alright, lock in the shot—time to make it happen. Let’s do this.
