Captured with a Nikon Z9 and NIKKOR Z 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6 VR S.
Exposure settings: 240mm, f/5.0, 1/1000 sec, ISO 4500.

The camera was positioned low on the forest trail to achieve a compressed perspective and isolate the subject from the background. Autofocus was set to continuous (AF-C) with subject tracking active.

The sequence was shot using high-speed burst mode to capture the exact moment mid-air as the Golden cleared the obstacle.
