Some advice, please.

I use "spot" focus area for photographing birds.
This afternoon I was out taking snaps of a pied wagtail.
The closer ones are quite a lot sharper than others, the focus point having missed the target.
Could it be the case, do you think, that for quite a small target, it's difficult to judge whether the focus point is on-target, but when the target (subject) gets nearer &, therefore, larger in the frame, one can be more sure the subject's in focus.

If the answer to the above theory is "yes", what would be the better auto. alternative, or would one have to resort to manual?

Hope I've explained it clearly, any assistance would be most welcome.
(What do you do?)

Thanks,

Roger.

P.S., see the Gallery for an "in focus" one!)

Lovely shots, Paul, esp. no.2!

Have you tried cropping-in on the snowflake.......?




Roger.

SRS will send a carrier both to deliver the new & collect the old in the same visit, with postage free for PU members.
You pay for the new, then receive the payment for the old within 4 days, after their confirming inspection.
They also returned my mem. card, inadvertantly left in the K7!

I know because that's what they've just done with my K7 / K5 deal!

Superb service!

As ever!

Roger.

Great set, Alan.

How close were you, are these crops?

Roger.

Indeed, Alan!

I was on the way back to the car, having had lovely light, but with not much in the way of birds about.
When I saw these fellas, the light was fading &, against the sky, the shots were challenging.
I dialled-in a couple of clics compensation but apparently not enough!
Back in PSE11, they still needed the shadows lifting, with the level of crop not exactly helping.
I think I may also have still had the SR on on the K5, along with it on the 150-500!


But apart from that, a piece of cake!

Thanks for the interest,

Roger.

Thanks, Neil.

(Ooops!
:blush
