A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

When do you use manual focus? (alien.top)

I feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.

Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

99% of the time. Yes autofocus is probably better but idk I just enjoy having full control over the photo. The viewer will probably not care in the slightest but it’s just for my fun
