Title: Another lesson
Post by: boneaddict on October 30, 2023, 08:24:21 AM: I've always said one of the reasons I do photography is that its a lot harder to take a good photo of something than it is to shoot it. i had a really good shot of this guy, but a switch was bumped on my lens so it wouldn't focus. by the time i figured it out, he started moving away. Unlike most whities, he paused for a second time. This time my settings were bumped in my camera and i was shooting about 4 steps higher than it was supposed to. i fixed that and he was on the move again. dang if he didnt stop again. i finally got a focus on him through the brush and trees. The 06 would have finished him off long ago.

Do you have a thread on good outdoor camera gear?
I'm considering making the switch.
Thanks
