I assumed you used a similar feature, but did not want to settle for guessing.<br /><br />It is interesting that for you keeping your finger on the shutter button is simpler. Isn't it great that we can have these kinds of choices?<br /><br />I am sure I will Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-46185069651720841652009-06-12T03:36:55.951-07:002009-06-12T03:36:55.951-07:00I had to go and do a little reading to find out wh...I had to go and do a little reading to find out what AI Servo was. :-) When I'm shooting basketball, I have the camera set to do continuous focus using the shutter button. It's too much to ask of myself, to try to deal with fast, chaotic action AND to try to mess with an AF button and a shutter button. So, my camera continuously changes focus while the shutter button is pressed half way Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794079257866559509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-68249090011722697222009-06-11T16:23:34.132-07:002009-06-11T16:23:34.132-07:00Paul - I think "It's not a good thing if ...Paul - I think "It's not a good thing if you like high percentages." sums it up pretty well. Now, this is some serious encouragement. Once in a while, the number of misses gets to me. It's good to be reminded that a higher percentage of missed shots is to be expected in some circumstances. I'm curious. Do you use the equivalent of Canon's AI Servo when shooting Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-7508632547061504512009-06-11T12:35:58.426-07:002009-06-11T12:35:58.426-07:00Anita: I love the challenge of shooting basketball...Anita: I love the challenge of shooting basketball. It is pure chaos. :-) It makes it all the better when you get a good shot. Most of the time you never even remember how you got it. On the other side, I can fire many hundreds, sometimes over 1,200 shots and get perhaps a dozen, if that, good shots. It's not a good thing if you like high percentages. Single digit percentages are impressive,Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794079257866559509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-36374507893949162372009-06-11T08:13:18.165-07:002009-06-11T08:13:18.165-07:00Paul - I noticed that you have been taking the &qu...Paul - I noticed that you have been taking the "Anita road", this week. It's nice to know that even the ironman needs to take a breather once in while. Let some of the rest of us keep the consversation going while you catch your breath.

I think there will be times that I, too, will have mine off the camera. I have hopes of "outgrowing" this tilting business, but judging by your and Paul's remarks, my expectations just got lowered a bit.<br /><br />As for moving the focus lock: I found no disadvantages once I got past the initial Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-48011073805609907712009-06-11T06:28:18.752-07:002009-06-11T06:28:18.752-07:00Anita: I'm enjoying your frequent postings! :-...Anita: I'm enjoying your frequent postings! :-) As you can see, I've not been posting much, instead taking time to read what others post. I love it!<br /><br />Anyway, regarding the grid: The D300 has a mode that will overlay a grid. I use different setting banks for different kinds of shooting. My two major banks are landscape and sports. For landscapes, I use the grid.

I'm forever slightly tilting my photos and then losing photo space as I straighten them after the fact. I've gotten better by being more aware of it and I do have a background grid in my Nikon Viewfinder which helps. I still have hopes of "out growing" this bad habit.<br /><br />Feel the burn...I've a battery Earlhttp://meanderingpassage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-42849173480283199632009-06-10T20:40:13.224-07:002009-06-10T20:40:13.224-07:00Mary Ann - I agonized for months about spending th...Mary Ann - I agonized for months about spending the money, but so far I am very happy with the purchase. I was suspicious about the claims on ISO performance, but it seems to be a definite improvement over the 40D. <br /><br />I have been fixing tilts in ACR, but with an even semi-tight action shot you can lose a foot in that transaction.

The closet picture is remarkable at an iso of 2000. I don't know about a grid, although I've heard about a few photographers that do use them. For quite some time, I just fixed my tilts in Photoshop. I purchased LR2 a month or so ago, and fixing tilted frames Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
