[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 396826, member: 27017"] Excuses: It was cold! The dog's teeth were chattering too. (That's not a lie. Ha!) I got set up only to find that I did not have an SD card in the camera. Tear things down. Back to the house to get one. Set up again. Took a series of photos and wasn't happy with them. Started to pack it in and realized that I had a CPL filter on the lens. Removed the filter and set things up again. About three more shots and did I say, It was cold! Still not satisfied, but it was enough for me for the night. Ha! The guess from what you said [MENTION=31330]J-see[/MENTION] is that one, I did not realize the problems of slow reaction when focusing in Live View. I'm sure that was a big part of the fuzzy to clear to fuzzy jumping as I tried to focus manually. Second, I did not go to wide open on the aperture. I think the widest I went was F11 if I remember correctly. Max shutter speed I used was 15 seconds and Max aperture of F40. Slowest shutter was 1 second various aperture settings. I am thinking that I need to use the widest aperture and play with shutter speeds up to 30 seconds or so. Also, try to focus precisely. Ha! [/QUOTE]
