This is one of my favorites from about 4 hours of shooting. I'd never done manual focusing before but was forced to begin to learn because otherwise the only thing that would have been in focus was the branches. There must have been 40 birds roosting-flying in and out, making babies, making nests. Awesome sight. I can see its going to be a steep learning curve
@jgpittenger Probably a tricky situation so manual might be best - my camera alllows you to move the spot around which sometimes works. Anyway, you got it bang on.
Nice shot. How lovely to have such a beautiful subject! I have just recently used the manual focus. It does not always work for me but I can say I am impressed with some of the results. It takes a lot of practice.
