i want to show a picture i took about 2 weeks ago i think that started me on really trying to learn how to start nailing my focus. this was a wolf we saw at the zoo. In all the years we've been going (7 years now), this is only the 2nd or 3rd time we've ever seen him. i had no choice but to shoot thru the fence, but i HAD to have a picture of him. he was pretty far away. i decided to use manual focus in this case. i *thought* that would be best way to go and i *thought* i had this baby focused well. I was wrong. Now i know it's terribly hard to manually focus thru a chain link fence, but i thought i could do a better job than autofocus. *sigh*. I'll show you kemal's image in just a sec (which he took using autofocus).
