A little clarification here, the first one is of our famous Subchatter William A. Padron if those don't know, and the bus one should of been in Bus Chat, but this was not a busfanning mission, and the shot of the Catering Hall got stuck in my photobucket file, so got placed on here, but was taken on the same night as Me and my wife were on a wedding, so you can say in a way was related to my trip! |

Neil, some constructive criticism: MANY of your zoom shots are out of focus. Do you know why this may be? Do you have IN-FOCUS shots you could have posted instead of the out-of-focus shots? |

Neil, did you by chance have your zoom accidently set for manual focus? I saw a coupla photos' EXIF and it said "manual focus" and a lot of your zoomed shots are out of focus. AF is of course easier and more dependable for moving trains but manual focus works, too, but needs practice. The composition and light are really good here but the trains are blurry.your pal, Fred |

No prob, I figure Neil and others could benefit from it. I don't always practice what I preach when it comes to checking the settings but it's important to do so. I've screwed up many shots due to simply not checking.your pal, Fred |

I'm still torn between putting my AF on 'one-shot' or 'ai-servo'. I've been unhappy with both, and have taken to focusing on the platform edge or wall where I approximate the train will be when I want my shot...and that doesn't always give good results either. |

I have 3 settings that may correspond to your camera: Manual, Stationary focus, and Constant focus. I use the constant focus for the moving trains as it does what it's name states, constantly focuses on the object pointed at. Is "ai-servo" your cam's version of constant focus? If so I'd recommend it as it freshens up the focus on your subject faster than you can.your pal, Fred |

The new way is to put the AF motor in the lens and not the camera. It's quieter and faster.your pal, Fred |

Was set on Manual, and everytime I hit the exposure button, when the camera beeps, it tells me it's in focus, then I shoot it! I'm gonna do a little more practice on it! |

Bound Brook Part 1:Bound Brook Part 2: Bound Brook Part 3: New Brunswick Part 1: New Brunswick Part 2: Extensive, and long, and my narrative was a bit screwed up on the trains, but coming home to look at the schedules, the wording in screen form is the right one! Please note that in New Brunswick 2 at the very beginning, ALP46A 4648 (recently placed into service) is on Train 7847. Sound of the propulsion came out very well, so hope all of you enjoy, and comment! |

Yeah, the cameras are; the newer lenses are now built with motors so the camera doesn't do the mechanical turning of the screw. For the most part they focus faster.your pal, Fred |

I'm going to get an IS lens for those real fast shots which should also help with night photography as well! Also evaluating my photos, I'd say about 33% were a tad bit out of focus! Still I'm not complaining! IS Zoom lens counterpart will be my answer though, so loom for it within a few weeks! |

Dunno, Neil. I think you should work out your focusing problems before you invest in new glass. Focusing is pretty basic stuff and new lenses aren't going to help that. 33% of 41 photos is a heck of a lot of out of focus shots to post to subchat! |

All the image stabilization in the world won't help things like out of focus shots or motion blur. You may be disappointed in your new lens...UNTIL you learn the basics of focus and shutter speed/aperture/ISO, etc. If you're using a manual focus lens you need to practice focusing on moving objects. Does your lens autofocus and you just choose manual focus? I'm missing something here.your pal, Fred |

I know I won't be! And in actuality, my lenses I've had from my first SLR body, and quite frankly do work well on this one too! Just need minor adjustments in my shot! |
