I just realised that I should have switch to the AI-SERVO mode instead. I did tried that mode ( AI-SERVO ), but then the RED AF confirmation dots are not there when you are using the AI-SERVO mode and I am quite worried that the focusing will be off ! Hence I switched back to AI- Single mode.

I should use AI-SERVO instead. make the subject at the center of the picture, then half press the shutter ( to aquire lock ), the compose the picture. :thumbsup:

thanks for the advice , appriciated.

no problem bro..i oso been thru it..that's the whole purpose of Tangs Shooters mahz..shoot and learn together..and oso to have fun! :bsmilie:

hi TangShooters, here are my this morning's shoot. 2 mistakes I have made here :
- must use shutter about 1/500sec or faster to ensure sharp picture.
- must have a good clearing for shooting.

How fast the shutter depends on how fast the runners are ...

But more seriously, you can shoot at 1/60 too. And then you get some motion blur effects of their feet and hands, for example.

The real problem is focus, namely that the runners must be in your focal plane when you release the shutter.

And you achieve this either by:

- ambush, ie you pre focus on a spot, and wait for the runner to hit the spot, maybe just before. How precise you need to time this release depends on your depth of field. If you have more depth of field, you can be less precise.

- high speed continuous focus and focusing, either with you Mk II eyeball or the latest bestest mostest Mk CCXVIII pro camera and maybe also supersonic lens, etc. Depth of field also matters here, as the runner must not move outside the focal volume, before the camera reacquire focus again. so the faster the focal reacquisition, the less depth of field is needed.

- high shutter speed, which is what you are alluding too. Like the continuous AF, your shutter speed and reaction time and other delays must be less than the time the runner moves out of the focal volume which is determined by your depth of field.

Ambush is the most straight forward, most accessible to anyone, including P&S, and most creative too.
