Hello all,

I am interested to hear from you about your favorite settings you use in different compositions.

More specifically your recomendations for metering and focus best and worst combination settings in your opinion for different type of compositions.

Focus:

Center
Select
Auto

Metering:
Spot
Center weighted
Multi-segmented

I read in a post:

Focus hunting may say something about your technique at that moment. Spot meter a hummingbird in flight with blue sky as the background and yeah, you are going to hear this lens hunt. Add a contrasty closer background, and things improve. Widen the metering slightly from spot, and all of a sudden this "lens focusses" the elusive hummingbird just fine.

So in that case I assume it is best to use Multi-segmented metering with center focus while shooting birds in flight against the sky?

What about if the light is coming behind the object? My dog always manages to go to the wrong side of the light what settings you recomend inthat case?
