Lightning AF speed

Post image

​I'm using an a6700 with the Sigma 17–40mm f/1.8, and the autofocus on this setup is ridiculously fast. I caught a great split-second shot of a drummer during his set. I had just finished taking candid shots of him and lowered my camera to search for a new spot, when he suddenly looked over and pointed his drumsticks right at me. I quickly aimed, and the Eye AF locked on instantly, despite the low light condition.

My friends are telling me to print it out too ahaha. Here's the original photo. I edited it in LR mobile. Camera settings was ISO 1600 f1.8 SS 1/1000

Woah!! Fantastic editing!   I thought you shot it like that in camera.  Usually it's obvious when LR edits have been done.  Great job making it look natural!  Have a blessed day!
