  • If your camera supports it you can try registering faces to prioritize the auto focus for a few of the standout players.

    If your camera doesn’t have any ibis and you’re shooting with a crop at 200mm I think maybe you’re right that 1600 isn’t quite fast enough. You could go higher or maybe try out a monopod to help stabilize.

    There should be a tracking AF option where you can select a focus point and then let the camera track the point but your camera may not have that option either.

    If no tracking AF try using a larger point. My camera calls it zone AF where it focuses on one of the 9 boxes made by the lines of thirds.

    It could also be a “get good” situation where you just have to anticipate a little of what might happen and try to be ready for shots a few seconds ahead of time. Practice makes perfect after all.

    I hope that maybe this helps!





  • My SO struggles with this too. I just get by with only one or two people I’d call friends and that works for me. I don’t need a lot.

    But my SO struggles with friends in much the same way. They are always the one to reach out to the friends and ask to schedule things and plan in advance but it’s never the friends reaching out to do the same. I consider those not real friends - they’re friends out of convenience because it gives them something to do sometimes instead of actually caring.

    So maybe keep track of things like this and see if your friends are actually friends and they care about you or because they get bored and occasionally want things to do.

    It seems to me to be pretty normal as you age to distance yourself from others. Especially if you’re in a relationship and/or have a career or job you’re passionate about which it appears you care a lot for your field. Those two things alone will eat up the majority of your time. Throw in friends with that who also may have relationships and jobs etc that eat up all their time too. So naturally it’s difficult to plan things and people fall apart. Totally normal.
