Carlos,
Great photos.
I have never really got on with autofocus for action coming towards the
camera - especially with short distances. Although I will probably be
shouted down, I think you would be better, as you have done, with a
"perfectly timed" manual preset. Autofocus takes a slight time to adjust and
you can miss the 'perfect point' because of the delay. Manual timing is
purely down to the skill and judgement of the photographer; it also makes
taking the photo more exciting.
Is that a wide scratch on the left hand side of your pond photo?
John
