Jen, I don't believe continuous should be a concern unless your prime point of focus is moving. It's just a way to keep the moving subject focused until actual shutter release.
Mothballs, huh? We've never had trouble with squirrels. We've had mice, turtles, crows, cattle, horses, armadillo, and a ferret...all in our yard at one time or another.
One morning I opened the front door to see six or seven cows grazing just feet from the front door.
Duck, somehow my autofocus settings got messed up and I couldn't adjust the focal point. I put the setting on multi-point single servo and it's good again.
I used continuous with the kids, though.
Have you considered shooting with film? I'm feeling inspired by Leiter. Also just read about Fred Herzog.

The squirrel is very difficult to see.
But I'm struggling with sharp focus. I need to read up on single servo mode vs. continuous mode and figure out why my focal point is off.
We're in the middle of an ice storm here, but when I get a chance, I have several rolls of color film to drop off. I'm enjoying the Holga!
Btw, I enjoyed the radio show. It's good to hear y'all agree on issues of liberty.
Actually, I didn't defend him as much as I pointed out that sometimes, to do good requires doing "bad".
I don't engage in debates with hard-headed know-it-all's, because it's a waste of time.
I am SO not the person I was a few years ago. ;-)
And yes, I'd MUCH rather talk about squirrels IF I'm able to make a plug for a squirrel's redemptive qualities as a formidable nutcracker! ;)
I stayed up late reading about MAndela's history, but it's not easy to find a balanced account.

Maybe you can talk the little creeps in my attic into leaving.
Maybe you could use mothballs as a deterrent to the squirrel population in your attic.
Drive them out, then seal up the attic!
As for Mandela; I'm doing two posts tomorrow and one's a kind of different viewpoint I've developed these last few days..more positive.
