Tracking Auto Focus

Still tinkering with the settings of the Sony A6000 and today I wanted to learn more about the focus settings. Since I love taking pictures of my 2 dogs, I needed to learn the auto focus settings for moving object....

I set it to Continuos Focusing Mode which is AF-C  with the focus area being wide. I was still having a bit of a problem getting it to focus specifically on my dog's eyes....

This one focused more on Riley's nose...still cute if you ask me...of course I am a bit biased...


What I actually had to do was to turn off the face recognition feature and turn on Center Lock-On Auto Focus....

There I was able to choose a specific point to focus on....this is better.... You can see that it is focused on the eyes and not the nose like the last picture




Not too big of a difference I guess but, for me, it is important to be able to focus on the eyes....for more impact...

Here are the rest photos I took after I got the settings down...also added +3 in exposure compensation for more light...

I call this photo session...

TINA | OUTDOOR CLASSIC BEAUTY PORTRAIT SESSION

"When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands i the worship of the creator." -Mahatma Ghandi My favorite time to shoot is at sunset...the golden hour as they call it. It was a fortunate event when I was shooting Tina that we found a sun-kissed area with its golden rays illuminating her hair. A lot of people shy away from shooting towards the sun ...saying that its harsh... Yes if it is high noon, the sun has a harsh quality but at the golden hour, it lights up the model and gives their hair an amazing glow... Just look at Tina here at golden hour.... Here is her album: TINA To schedule a  Classic Beauty Portrait Sessions,  you may send me a message on my facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/EarthlyVisionz/ Smile and Stay Beautiful...Happy Shooting...

Annloraine Open Shoot

So a few weeks ago my husband and I attended an open shoot at Parks and Wildlife in QC. It was our first openshoot and we actually had a lot of fun. Our first model was Annloraine. It was really nice taking pictures of her because she already knew how to pose...no need to direct her on what poses would look good. Here are some of our best shots...
