After messing up big time at last weekend's grad I was determined to try to do better today. Gym lighting, lots of misc stuff surrounding the podium, sitting ~15 rows up about 3/4 way down the basketball court. Underexposed even at 1600, but needed to keep the SS a little high (at 200mm!) darn near impossible. Tri or mono pod out of the question. According to the Canon software focus was dead on ( I mean DEAD on) Andrea's right eye, and yet she is a little OOF, and the speaker seems to be good and sharp. Anyone know about focusing technique or is it a calibration/back/side focus problem?
Mom is still in the hospital, feeling pretty depressed she's not home. Hopefully her regualr doc can get in tomorrow to see what's going on. The staff doc got her case on Friday so the reg doc could have a long weekend. Thanks for your continued prayers and thoughts.
