This has probably been asked a million times, and i know one technique won't work for everyone, but i'd like to know what you use for what situation
Mostly i'm talking about birds, so lets start off with stationary ones (not Birds In Flight)
I asked for critique on a few shots i took at Potteric Carr the other day, and most of the comments related to not being focused on the eyes (which i fully agree with), and it was suggested i move the focus point to aim for the eyes, but i find it far too time consuming to shift the focus point mid shot, the technique i use is focus & recompose, but i'm wondering if this is what is contributing to my missed focus points due to the slight angle change i am making once i have got focus (i use BBF too)
So, my question, is what i am doing wrong for the situation, can i improve on this using another technique, and if so what technique do you use?
Also, any other help/pointers would be greatly appreciated
