I agree with David. “One of these days”.

Perhaps this is more a “thing” in the journalism world, but there can be some overlap: the old mantra from the 4×5 days was “F/8, and be there”.
I like #1 the best, if only from the timing / capture aspects, though I would have a hard time convincing anyone I had waited for the perfect instant to “get the alignment with the eye”. I believe there is a place for good fortune in these efforts. 20 FPS does not hurt, either.
I’d be happy if any of those shots had been mine. Be well out there.
Fortuna favet fortibus.
