Actually want to hear from any experienced photographers or any photographers who have had success, thanks!
How many snaps does it take to get a sharp shot? I have been having this problem where I will take about 2-3 gigs worth of shots and maybe 1 will be slightly okay this is probably due mostly to my inexperience more then anything but I was just wondering about your success rate versus rejects and if the photo is rejected because the images were slightly blurred or was it because the comp. was not exactly what you hoped or the exposure was not the best.
I have been having this problem were I get close to a bird, but it is in the foreground of a messy twiggy tree or bush and the auto focus wants to go back and forth between the mess of twigs in the background to the bird that is 10 feet away right in my face practically. I end up getting less then sharp results most of which come out slightly blurred. Should I just not even attempt to shoot in such situations? I think to because I am not holding it completely steady it changes focus because it is very sensitive. I use evaluative metering mode and AI Servo. Is this best?
I am using the canon 30D and the 100-400mm f5.6 EF IS USM lens.
