I have been using the Artie Morris Rear Focus technique for years and have had the thumb fatigue symptom on one occasion. I think it was the day I captured 3400 images. That was quite a long while ago and have not had a repeat of the discomfort since even though I continue to use the RF technique which I like A LOT.

It is certain that I have missed countless flight keepers, however, and am very excited to apply Larry Brown’s C1-C2 approach with my 1DM3 and 1DM4. In one of your tutorials Artie, I believe I recall you offering instruction on how to readily use both RF and shutter button AF. It might have been for my 5DM2 (not used in a long while).

Artie, while you are inviting us to choose from two images here as a favorite, (of the four) I prefer image #1 “Gannets Crossing.” The reason is for its compelling action. I wonder what is going on off frame and find the distant approaching gannet adding further mystery to what is happening.

That UK tour for flight shots sounds superb. Is the ambient temperature warm at the time of the trip? ; )
