Hi Markus ... Most, but I expect, not all ;-)) Anyway, after doing this for more than 30 years, I'm sure there are a few pics of moving objects that I've made ;-)) I've even posted a few where I shot while walking past someone who was walking past me in the opposite direction.
It takes a bit of practice to photograph some moving objects, and I'm sure auto focus can come in handy at times. But regardless of what I or greywolf may be able to do, think of the many photos of moving objects that were taken before the advent of autofocus - including soccer matches, auto and motorcycle races, nature and wildlife photography. It's all very doable. What gets to me are people that say you can't shoot this or that without certain features, and that's just nonsense. What they are really saying is that they neither have the skill nor the patience or desire to practice working with their cameras to be able to achieve such results. A great many people making photographs today (at least on these lists) are high-tech oriented, and they enjoy the high tech approach to photography. They want results. Others take, and prefer, a different approach. Speaking only for myself, I prefer the journey rather than just arriving at my destination. I prefer driving rather than flying, and making many stops along the way rather than getting to the destination quickly. I don't mind missing a few shots now and then - others insist that they get everything they point their lenses at. Anyway, this is become too much of a philosophical ramble down the path of nostalgia.
