Fish Pics Galore

[Paulus]

Did you take any pics of them on the spawning beds?

 

Not yet. Though I expect I will at some point. Still, it's harder to get a good shot when they're in the water. Results are far more spectacular when they are flying through the air

 

Depending on your camera I'd be using back button focusing with AI-Servo. You're losing a lot of time by using one button for both auto focus and shutter.

 

Also if you know there jumping in a specific spot, manual focus the lens and use a remote shutter. So you can just sit there in your lawn chair and press a button anytime one jumps, if your DOF is deep enough it should work. Also use high speed continuous for your 'Drive' mode.

 

No go back and try that, lol!

 

 

I would, except... well... they're mostly on the redds now, down here at least. Hopefully they are mostly done by the time 12:am Saturday rolls around... Not sure mine (T2i has a back button, but I'll check).

 

Now my shift is done and I'm heading home to flick another button... the little red one on the remote!

Paul, you should be able to set the 'that other site-ON' button to be the Autofocus (Which is why they call it back button focusing)....
