Hey all,
I've been lurking around here for a while, but this is my first actual post... please be gentle!
I've recently upgraded my camera body, and headed out to Brands Hatch to give her a little road test. I've been here many times, and, generally speaking, my panning technique is normally pretty good. However, while viewing my shots from this trip, I noticed that in a lot of the shots I'm only getting half of the car in focus. I used my normal settings (AI Servo; central focus point; shutter priority; ISO 100), and I can't say I've ever encountered this before. Here's what I mean:
The Porsche only has the front in focus, and the Focus (no pun intended...) only has the back in focus. I think these were at around f/14, so I can't see how it's a DOF issue. Are my settings off, or am I just out of practice with my panning?
My only other option that I can see, is that I had my lens IS switched on... Could this be fooling the camera somehow?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
