[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 447090, member: 3903"] Lucien, there are shots that will be out of focus, I can assure you. It happens, it's just a fact of life. Now, in my humble opinion, no post processing will make these great (talking about out of focus ones). The only solution I found is that whenever you're out there shooting these kind of subjects, TAKE MORE THAN ONE SHOT. Digital film is cheaper than having to go back to shoot something that was missed because of bad focus or camera movement. If you want to try an experiment, just put your camera in continuous shutter mode and take something static with a shutter speed let's say 1/125 s. I could bet you that if you take 3-4 shots of that subject, there will be one shot that will be sharper than the others. This is how it is. So don't worry, you'll miss more shots in the future, but if you do take a few more, you might have one that will be OK. Too slow shutter speed or too much relying on auto-focus will cause some missed shots. So you just have to be a bit more cautious and check your settings, check to see if the light is changing while you're shooting and enjoy the learning experience. Only practice will make your shots getting better and better. As for the lion shot, I think it's fine. At least it's sharp and this is what backlight does to a subject, it separates it from the background which is something we like. Enjoy your Nikon. [/QUOTE]
