As I know there are a few people on here who are quite the photographers, I'm wondering whether anyone might be able to give me some advice about starting out with photography and cameras. I'm a bit of a birdwatcher and have been wanting to take decent pictures of the birds for a while so I have recently bought myself a Canon Eos 2000D DSLR camera. It came with a 18-55MM lens and I've borrowed a 70-300MM lens from my brother in law, and so far I seem to be getting on ok with it. Mostly I've been using the cameras autofocus function but I'm finding it's focusing on the wrong things sometimes so the subject is often a little blurry. Is there a knack to using autofocus, or am I better of doing it manually? If I do it manually, how do I focus fast enough when birds move quite quickly? Any help would be much appreciated!
