AI Servo Trick

What's up guys? I've got a cool new trick for ya!

Ever been out shooting a flower or something in windy conditions when the standard "One-Shot" AF mode doesn't work? You know, that one where it focus and locks until you depress the AF button again? No idea what that's called in the Nikon world.

Shooting in the wind, this mode rarely works. No matter how fast you press the buttons, it won't work 99% of the time.

How do you fix that? Easy. Let the camera's AF system follow the wind blown flower for you. Use AI Servo focus. It's that one that never locks focus....it just keeps focusing on what the AF dots are on. The downside to this is that you have to keep the camera moving too, but depending on the AF system, you'll be able to use multiple AF dots to keep up with it. 

I'm shooting another wedding with Jeff Franks and Steve Glass this weekend. It's in Dahlonega, GA. Should be a lot of fun!

I'm also getting some new octoboxes for my Paul C. Buff lights Saturday courtesy of Jeff. Then some new stands and boom arms next week!

Then I've got something cool to announce. Might say something as early as Monday or Tuesday. We'll see. It'll be awesome. Can't wait!

Until then, later guys!
