Zone Focus

Many articles discussed sharpness. Yes it's important and many may will disagree with me. 

But do you need to track the eye and spend money to purchase new cameras, "gun site" accessories? IMHO No.

Consider zone focus. 

For me with moving subjects I use Photopills DoF pill to decide will the subject be in focus.

When I'm using my 75-300mm glass wide open at f/6.7 and estimated distance of 100ft my DoF is over than 6 feet. That's enough for me to capture many subjects with acceptable sharpness. At f/8.0 DoF is 8 ft. That works for me. YMMV.

For those not M43 shooters need to consider the sensor size. Using a full frame at 600mm it would cut the DoF about half.

More than BIF

I like the challenge of photping Birds In Flight, BIF.  Following links discuss shutter speed, metering and a crash course for BIF. Many of most if not all are useful for any photography.

I hope you find them useful.

BiF, Birds in Flight

 I read an article about 5 Common Mistakes. I took the article and wrote my comments and bulleted the 5 Mistakes with comments and included the original article.

This is a link to my PDF File.
