I was at the Audubon Swamp Garden this morning and there was a nice moon still visible. I had my camera set up and was experimenting with some different AF modes for BIF. All of a sudden I hear a flock of geese approaching. I line up the camera with the moon and briefly waited for the geese to arrive. They came in frame and I fired off at the blazing 4 1/2 FPS on my Z5. The camera grabbed onto the moon for focus and the geese were, well, fuzzy. If I had reverted to my normal BIF AF settings I likely would have gotten a lock on the geese.[ATTACH=full]403552[/ATTACH]I did get one shot of them in focus after they passed the moon, but had some very out of focus branches in front of them. I tried my hand at taking the moon from one shot and pasting it into the other and cleaning up the branches. This is not something I will put forward as anything but an experiment. And, yes, the fourth goose from the left looks a little weird. It was behind a fairly large branch and I was unable to clean it up to look natural. I tried removing it, but it looked odd with an obvious hole in the formation, and I had a bit of ghost remnants left from the branch I just couldn't get rid of at my skill level. I'm not into cutting and pasting from one image to another and replacing skies, but just wanted to see what the image might have looked a little like if it had gone according to plan.[ATTACH=full]403553[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
