As you know by now i am a Leica M9 lover! The al-round package this camera and lenses offers come second to none in my books.
The M-system is a challenge i look forward to and i am always looking to improve to get the most out of it. M = manual, meaning focus by hand,- the lens does not auto focus!
So a lot of M9 neigh sayers have stated that it is impossible to do sport/action photography with the M9. Well, this was not the reason why the M9 was build. It was not intend to shoot the Olympics or the Rugby World Cup.
How-ever, that said it doesn't mean you cant do it! Remember; "Practice, practice and more practice, my child."-YODA
So on a recent trip to the North Coast i made a few images at a jet-surf practice station and this is what i found; with concentration and practice...

There are a few sporting events coming-up and you can be sure that i will post more pics on the M9 and action images.
