Over the past week I've been down to the local park a few times for general shots of birds and wildlife. Yesterday I went with the intention of getting a few birds in flight.
Normally I have the camera set to manual exposure and focusing to single point, but yesterday, I set it on AP and focus tracking multi point everything it'll do. I got a few nice pics of a Heron standing still, and then several shots of it taking off. Can't tell you how excited I was, and looking at the monitor everything looked OK. Once home though, every bloody one was out of focus...Last night I get to watching a few videos and go about setting up my camera. I put focusing on the back button, and I came a cross a setting I hadn't heard of before where you set the camera to manual exposure and ISO to auto I couldn't wait to get in the park this morning and give it a try, the Heron or Heron's were too far and too high up for my 55-200 mm so I waited to see if the Geese would be happy to help out. There's a long way to go obviously and I've used the Gaussian Blur on the background, but I'm quite pleased with this one...Exposure was F5.6 @ 2500 with auto ISO coming out at 2200...Lens was 116 mm which probably didn't help the back ground, but they were moving a bit and I don't have the confidence yet to try and fill the frame whilst concentrating on everything else.
