Your phone should have a macro setting JD

This lens has been playing silly beggars lately too.....I'm not happy! Going to send them all back to canon soon and get them calibrated...sodding things! I hate it when I'm focused on the eye and the lens decides it doesn't want to do that...

What was the aperture and shutter speed. As it was moving when you took it were you on one shot or servo focus ?

Think it was about 1000/1, 2.8 as the light was bad. On servo, but no servo in the world can move as fast as a golden streak of speed....

Could its eye have been where its back is in the picture when you focussed and then by the time the shutter went off it had moved on?

They come too close and too fast for the lens to focus....I take LOTS of hare piccys, so I've had this happen one or two times before..... :thumbs:

Taking action shots is my particular kink, and yes it can be awkward when the things we are photographing are coming towards you rather than broadside on, especially at speed

Experience and practice are two componants for which there are no substitutes

We have all seen some of your hare and coursing images JD..spot on matie..
