[QUOTE="jeffo, post: 123951, member: 12689"] Hi Horoscope Fish, I would be only too delighted if it turned out that it was all down to my lack of ability. In fact I would be really grateful to you if you can set me in right direction to overcome my difficulty locking onto focus in Low light/shadowy areas and in areas of distraction in good light. First to admit I am still on at the bottom of long learning curve. Perhaps you might offer me some help buy telling me how to set up to photograph birds about 50/100 metres away amongst prominent branches leaves etc and focus keeps drifting or locking onto a close branch etc. The bird is clear for me to see and unobstructed. Oh, this all hand held. In flight I have no such problems, wish they were all flying:) I am very willing to learn so please give me some guidance. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
