Birding Again

I was starting to miss my birds.
Aperture Priority Mode. 155-200 lens. Editing consisted of a crop in Ribbet.

Beautiful bird!

Great photo. I m assuming that it was also set for auto focus? I also seem to have a focus issue with birds

[melissa]

@landryta85
Yes this was taken using auto focus.Are you attempting to use auto or manual focus? I have focus issues at times as well, if you look to the photo from yesterday, you will see the focus is centered although I wanted more for the front of the orange.

@mej2011 honestly I have tried both. When I do manual everything looks blurry. When I use auto my tree branches seem to be in great focus. Bird not so much

@landryta85
Have you tried using different focal points to see if any of them is better than another?

[melissa]

@thresheg @ribbet9
Thanks!

[Sam]

Gorgeous coloured bird!

[Tara Landry]

@mej2011 to be honest I m not really sure how.

@landryta85
I'm not familiar with the Nikon D7000, but I'm sure @frankhymus could help with detailing how to find and change focal points.
