Tell me about it! I spent a while today flitting (more like blundering) around the garden after butterflies with my camera. Not one shot was in focus . .. cool, cloudy days work better, they land and stay still longer.
I also had a camera set up on a tripod to try for pictures of birds on my feeders. Amazing how seldom I caught a decent shot! Finally figured out how to make the camera take a series of 3 or 4 shots quickly with one push. Then I'd usually get one that was in focus.
