went down to check out the wagtails nest yesterday afternoon/evening.
reasonably happy with the nice warm light which i was after
the problem/sis focus, and noise
i manually focused on the edge of the nest, using the reason that this is where the heads of the chicks will be, and the depth of field
would be enough to get chicks and adults heads sharp when feeding
this was shot at 1/125 800 ISO at f8. at 500mm with a wireless remote. camera on a tripod and mostly spot metered. others were center metered
i know that at 500mm the lens is outside its sweet spot and that the k7 does not handle noise very well
the only things i can think of that are causing the oof issue are the wind moving the branch and mirror slap
i can't do anything about the wind, but i can lock the mirror up.
all help and suggestions wanted as the chicks are starting to really develop
cheers
