Last Thursday night, I shot my 1st college basketball game knowing full well
I was entering new photographic territory. I put the camera on Continuous
Autofocus (which I often don't use) and happily blundered about. Upon
reflection, staying out of people's way was my greatest achievement that
night. :-).
After looking at the 150 frames taken, I knew some study was in order and
have since read the chapters on "shooting sports," which I often skip when
reading photography books.
From Kobre's book:
"Many sports shooters use their thumbs on [the autofocus button on the back
of the camera] for focusing while using their forefingers on the front
[shutter] button to take the picture. Holding the back focus button allows
the lens to continue focusing even when releasing the front shutter button
between shooting picture bursts" (108).
Anybody here use this technique? I thought I might give it a try.
Cheers, Christine
