Hello,
I am looking for assistance to make my sports photography better. I am a beginner trying to improve my shots of our children playing sports.
Equipment: NIKON D700, AF-S NIKKOR 18-200mm zoom lens. Sometimes I use the NIKON DX 18-55mm zoom lens.
Settings: I use the Sports SCENE and AF-A mode and single focus point. (is this best??)
Problem: I cannot seem to focus on what I want to. I often get pics where the subject I am clearly trying to capture is blurry but the background is focused. If you have this camera and have preferred settings and want to share your experiences that would be great. I added a couple pics where the subjects are or are not in focus. On each one I had time for the camera to focus, and I had my single point focused on the subject but it still picked up the background. This seems to be happening on most of my shots.
