Hello Sony friends,
A while ago, a member posted a thread about losing his dog and how much the pictures meant to him. That was a sad thread and it inspired me to take some pictures of my Son’s pet German Shepherd for him. What my Son and his friends will remember the most about Eley is how well she could fetch a tennis ball. So, I want to get a picture doing just that. I would like a picture of Eley running back once she has gotten the ball. I need your help with the best settings for this kind of shot.
What I have set so far is the following: focus mode afc, drive mode continuous shooting Hi+, focus area wide. Will a shutter speed of 2,000/sec be fast enough? There doesn’t seem to be enough focus points in wide. Am I missing something here? In all my years taking pictures, I’ve never done anything like this. I’m concerned that my camera’s focusing won’t keep up. Should I increase the focus points? if I can. Right now, there are only a few. I really want to do a nice job for my Son and your help will be appreciated. I plan to use my Sony 135 GM.
