I am having focus problems also with my Canon 100mm lense. I bought it when I was in film. Now I am using, or attempting to use it, on my Canon 5D. No luck! And I have a bird's nest right on a plant on my front porch, only 2' off the ground, perfect for photographing the progess of the eggs and chicks.
I have put the lense on "limit", put on my macro ring light, used my tripod with remote, used the 400 even 800 "speed", what else can I do? The camera just "searches" back and forth and won't land. The ring light has lamps you can use prior to taking the picture to light up the subject and I have had those on. Nothing.
HELP! The birds will be out of the nest. Judy |
What is your camera setting? One shot or ??? With Macro like this really want to be using One shot setting. I had ... well all my lens, but particularly the 100 really seach when lighting was low, changing to one shot really helped me get some great shots. Expecially shooting the three toed sloth. With a flash and one shot I have been able 10-22 lens particularly to shoot things that i couldn't see clearly enough to manual focus on. It was that dark.
