Trevor,

Good to see you finally coming out of your shell.

He wasn't moving too fast for the AF I hope? :)

Was it moving that fast that you still had camera shake? :lol:

Hard to get motion blur with a subject like that. :)

I've been experimenting with my trap focus technique!

I thought I'd start with something difficult. :D

That reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask for some time. Film SLRs used to offer a focus trap via fancy backs etc. I always assumed that DSLRs would incorporate this feature as a matter of course. Yet, I haven't been able to find it on the D2H...

Does any one know?

Cheers
Steffen.

It should be there, Steffen; the D70 certainly has it.

RTFM I suppose. :)

I reckon it is more of a 'WTF are you looking at?' expression

you see that same smug look from some drivers as they pass you in the outside lane :lol:



Pentax focus trap method:
on non AF lenses you can set the body to AF and as the subject comes into focus it will fire.

Nice-looking Leopard Tortoise!
Where was it taken?

I presume that look is to keep an eye out for vehicles that might try to run him over as he's crossing the road!

Kruger National Park, December '06.

They seem to be very determined animals - nothing distracts them. I suppose they are confident because they don't have too many predators and are naturally protected by their shell.

It could also be because it takes them such a long time to get anywhere!
