thanks! Sure that technique applies to every dynamic scenario with a mix of still and moving subjects. I also use it a lot in my commercial photoshoots. Cheers!
Of course there's the option of setting AF tracking mode and leave all the control to the camera. I find that new AF tracking systems combined with BBF provide the best in every situation, as there are cases where automatic tracking alone doesn't work. But of course it's a personal preference. What system do you use?
Thanks for the info. I have a Nikon . Do you use single point or also dynamic area when using back button focus when taking pictures of (fast) moving animals? Thanks in advance for your answer
I used Nikon for many years until moving to Canon in 2022. I try to use the smaller AF area I can, at the smaller the area, the faster and more accurate the autofocus. If the subject is moving in a very random way you have no choice but to use a big area, while if you know exactly where it will be in the frame (if it's running straight at you for example) you can even use a single point. Hope it helps!
I got told this Trick by a Stormchaser and News Journalist , Chanced my Life
Stormchasing must also be interesting for photography. But I guess it's also kinda dangerous without proper knowledge
I use back button focus on my Sony A7iii and I love it. Thanks for the video
thank you for watching. Gonna share a lot more in the coming videos!
Great video mate, I've been using this technique very often for street photography too

Can't believe we are still seeing video's on BBF in 2024. Mirrorless brings a different dynamic even at entry level.
