Day 40: BBF

Today was a trial with Back Button Focusing. It is explained a bit here... Canon BBF.  Though I am still getting used to it, I have found it has increased the number of keepers when I shoot.  While Jackson was eating today I took four pics of him. Usually, I'm lucky if just one of them has good focus on his eyes. However, in using the BBF I had 3 good focus pics.  So, I went from something like keeping 25% to being able to keep 75%.  Huge difference! If you haven't made the switch and are struggling with getting great focus, take some time to try it out. Here's one from today, and a 100% crop of his eye.

 

 

Okay, so it's not the sharpest focus, but it is good for me. Hopefully, it will only get better from here.
