Hi folks- I shoot Canon, but I think it's probably the same terms in Nikon, etc.
Still trying to get better blackwater shots. Two questions w/r/t focus.
A question about focus drives. Since so much particulate floats past the subject that I'm trying to shoot, what AF drive should I be using? I usually use Servo, but I'm now thinking maybe I should use One Shot?
Second, focus areas: I was thinking that with macro I should use single point focus. But goddamn is that hard during a drift dive, especially since I have a hard time remaining perfectly still. So I tried spot, and that was a little better.
I'm wondering what other people use.
I know that really this is just practice, practice, practice, but since I can only blackwater dive when I'm on vacation and only in certain places, I don't get a hell of a lot of chance to practice!
Thanks everyone!
