Re: 7D: AF strategy for subjects coming straight on
Lots of good advice given already, but one thing nobody\'s touched on yet is what markings the pup has. I\'ve found that this can have a huge effect tracking performance for my 7D.
- Collies are typically high contrast targets on legs
- Mono-color whippets are the ultimate nightmare
If your pup doesn\'t have distinctive markings on his/her face or maybe chest, then you may have to give the AF a helping hand, by putting something in the dog\'s mouth, or by putting something contrasty on the dog (collar, harness, neckerchief etc).
Beyond that, try to shoot with the 17-55 at 55 and accept that you\'re going to have to go with a smaller aperture to give you more room for error (while still aiming for a high shutter)
