I don't believe this one. How long were you there ?
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

Thanks all. I just love the shapes they make.

I was there for about 15 minutes, sambiebaby. I have to take quite a few before I get a composition I like - it can be pretty hit and miss.

Oh my gosh! This is spectacular. You should head down to Brighton to play with the starlings as they come on at sunset to roost on the Pier! These birds love you! (or is it the french fries?)

Jerry Cliff says:

How do you focus for these types of shots?
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

Jon Cartwright says:

That's a thought, Charlie. I do have a montage (slowly) in the making that's a variation on this, but I've probably already got the shots for a heavily bird oriented view of Westminster. Hmm...

Jerry, autofocus. 51-point 3D tracking, to be precise. It works pretty well considering what I'm asking it to do, but I've lost a lot of potentially nice pictures by locking on to the background. If there's a way to stop the AF going beyond 3ft, I'd love to know about it.

ηεїℓ says:

Wow. that is dope. And its af! Mental -

Re what you said about stopping it autofocusing beyond 3ft - you could try some sort of hyperfocal prefocus?

really amazing shot, great lighting and tack sharp, instant fave..
