Hi, I would just like some input on how people go about there focus for action photography. I went to a county show at the weekend which gave me plenty of time to practice this sort of photography. I took photo's of the birds of pray show trying to get some good mid flight photo's and also of the motor bike stunt show where I got some photo's of the bike's in mid air after they gone off a jump.
I have a Nikon D5100 and used it on shutter speed priority at 1/1000, the focus was on continuous focus set to dynamic and I selected the middle focus point. I followed the bird or bike in flight with the centre focus point and tried to keep it close to the focus point and held the shutter button down on continuous burst.
I was happy with most of the shots even though a few were slightly out of focus but most were good. As I am new to this sort of photography I would be interested in how other people do it or any advice they can offer.
