Will AF ever be able to keep up with an energetic toddler like Kasey? I doubt it. During the holiday party in SoCal, I spent a lot of time in the family room shooting photos of Kasey and her parents. Whenever I got on the ground and crawled within 5 feet of her, Kasey would charge at the camera. Most of the time my AF gave up trying to lock focus, but I just kept shooting and hoping for the best. While I wish my AF could keep up with her, I sometimes got some cool unfocused shots of her that really conveyed the kinetic nature of this excited little girl.

Thanks for adding PixSylated to your blogroll. Check your manual to see if your camera has an AF Servo mode for focusing. If so, turn it on. Then, when you partially depress the shutter button, your camera will use fuzzy logic (or some other whizbang technology) to evaluate if the subject is coming towards you or moving away. Essentially it gives your AF a head start.
I'll give it a try. Thanks!
ya, i really like that it's out of focus. adds that playful flavor to it.
