This morning I missed a lot of opportunities and missed shots, all because I did not alter my settings more frequently or dramatically enough.
I consider the photography I do at the moment as training or practice, and like training for something (like a long ride or a run), so I can be ready for when something remarkable happens. I need to be using these opportunities to get way more comfortable changing and checking my settings.
I could have been at 1/500 or more and had a wider aperture. Same as a above – a couple of tweaks would have made this a much sharper shot and might have been something to work with.At this point, about 25 seconds later, I have increased the shutter speed, but not nearly enough. I think I was afraid I’d miss the shots completely, but, that is basically what I did here. To be fair it was gloomy as the sun was just started to peek over the hills and there was a fair bit of cloud.Pretty sure I was on single point AF, so OK considering. BUT, look the the aperture and shutter speed. While tracking I could have altered both, and I should have started with the shutter speed as the ISO was still so low.
