UdubBadger · 08-31-2012, 06:23 PM

either way, good shots

Chewy734 · 08-31-2012, 06:24 PM

thanks Badger.

MaximusJ · 08-31-2012, 06:34 PM

Not so sharp because it was windy a bit, but I love the capture.

The1 · 08-31-2012, 06:40 PM

Mark, I don't remember which pins are the ones to tape off, but from what I've heard, it may not be worth it as the AF becomes extremely slow and misses target a lot. I would stick with manual focus unless you have lots of time to wait with patients.

I believe blocking the pins stops the lens from communicating fully what aperture it is at allowing the camera to keep focusing. Don't quote me on that, I read about it a very long time ago, and I might be miss-quoting as a result. But it can be done.

UdubBadger · 08-31-2012, 08:16 PM

Damn it mark you were right. Clouds just rolled in

bosstones · 08-31-2012, 08:18 PM

^ no kidding. I finally applied Leatherique to the Moupe thinking it'd be sunny all day.

Tried it today and it didn't work. But all I had was scotch tape, which may not be thick enough. Not matter. It's easy enough to MF with live view.

There were some breaks in the clouds coming home today, but I think it's overcast again now.

EDIT: Just checked. Some light showing through the clouds, but no breaks big enough for a shot.

I think electrical tape would work better.

I've been lucky enough to get 10 minutes of clear sky

^ nice job!

M_Six · 09-03-2012, 09:57 AM

Yeah, very nice shot. I get a kick out of the LCD screens. They look out of place.

Practice your PS skills and clone out the two guys in the image. Shouldn't be hard.
