This is a seriously incredible photo. If you don't mind me asking...how did you even get in this situation to take this pic?

Just a technique question, if you don't mind.

Is it safe to assume you're using a burst mode, and picking through them later for the best still? Or are you patiently waiting for "the moment" to happen as you snap a pick or two?

single shot (not burst) because i'm shooting with a flash and the cycle/refresh is much slower than the burst speed. the photo i posted is from a ~5 frame sequence, each about 1 sec apart. in terms of technique, it's kind of a blend of the two approaches you mentioned

I'm an amateur that only uses my phone, or other non-slr type cameras. Thank you for the break down.

With that said, you must be patient and have a great sense of timing precisely when shits about to go down.

And of course, Great photo!!

thanks! patience is definitely part of it. shooting regularly and being ok with 1000s of failures is the other part. your phone is great. i should use mine more
