I do all my research, watch videos, look for tips, look at reviews etc. to help me get a better understanding. However I cant find an answer to this question: with skateboarding/snowboarding or any other similar sport, what is the best way to focus on a subject, is it manually or AF? I have taken some pictures where from my view point, they seem pretty good but there are obvious things like, "the board and torso and face are in focus but not his hands". how can eradicate this, by editing or the way I focus and settings? Also, I only have a kit lens (18-55 vr) but everything points towards getting a prime lens. to start off with, maybe a 50mm f1.8d prime. would this be suitable?    cheers gowge</p></blockquote><p></p>
