Gang,
See attached picture....
It seems I can never get the whole train in focus, on the attached image, you see the pilot, knuckle, rail, and ballast are in pretty good focus. But look at the numberboards, second unit, and signal masts... looks a bit blurry doesn't it? I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I will admit, I shoot with autofocus rather than manual, AF is set on AI SERVO. Any advice on what might I need to improve on or a better setting? Also thinking it might be my exposure time, 1/320 might show a little hand shake blur, maybe 1/500 next time?
CANON XS
f/7.1 (auto)
exp. 1/320 (manual/Tv mode)
ISO - 200 (may have been on auto, usually have ISO set at 400
Focal Length - 163 mm
