[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 342492, member: 27017"] The other day, I looked at this photo. I had shot some about the same time, however it was cloudy and I had to catch it in some of the breaks in the clouds. I was using the 70-300 nikon lens at a focal length of 300. Shutter and aperture settings were different, and I had trouble getting a good picture. Focus was a big problem! I tried manual and auto focus. Using live view. Auto was terrible as it tried to focus on clouds, etc. Manual worked but for only one shot and it wasn't as clear as your picture, Old-hippie, or as clear as I would have liked it. My question is: What do you "old" guys with fading eyes/eyesight find as a good method for focusing photos like this? Any tricks? Tomorrow is supposed to be a good "Super Moon" and if it's not cloudy, I will try again, so all tips will be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
