I am new to DSLR's and only in the last 6 weeks have I gotten out some to shoot some wake shots. I have a 55-200mm lens that does not auto focus with my Nikon D60 and a 70-300mm that does auto focus. I have questioned in a different manner here when I realized my 55-200 did not have a motor driven focus... (thanks for the feedback regarding should remain in focus due to static rope length..) What do most of you set your cameras Focus settings for Wake shots (w2w/aerials...action shots).. I had mixed results with my manual focus lens and as well using AF on my othher lens.. I have a field guide for my D60 and reading it says use AF-C for sports/action shots. I have had some trouble getting the lens to fire due to focus issues on AF.. but I did not note what AF setting I was using. Also, do you use Single or Continuous shutter settings? I fear that when I am using continous, I am "HOPING" for the shot among the burst instead of really thinking through when I trigger... Thanks in advance..
