My get pushed partner, Lisa Poland, issued this challenge to me - Pick a setting on your camera that you don't normally use, and experiment with it. Have fun! I chose manual focus. Sometimes when I am trying to capture a bird in the tree the auto focus grabs the wrong item and then I lose the focus. I have been trying to conquer the manual on my long lens but no luck. But when reading up on it in my manual I found there is an indicator. Took me a while to figure that out but think I did a descent job here. I need to learn focus lock too.
The baby starlings which only a few days ago were being fed are now feeding on their own and they are big eaters.
@joansmor Dive into your menus and set the AFL/AEL button to AFL this means that a half-press of the shutter button no longer locks the focus... only the exposure. And there's a bonus - press and release the AFL button and the focus is locked on whatever was underneath the focus point - a half press of the shutter button will now lock the exposure. Press and hold the AFL button depressed and the camera will continue to adjust the focus so you can track a moving object. Try it... it's the way to go!
This is a wonderful manual shot - really well focused! Love how your experimentation opened the learning and commenting for so many more people.
So well executed. Thank you for entering this week's get pushed challenge. Good luck with it!
