What Did You Shoot This Weekend? (May 16-18, 2008)

I'm not sure if it is my lens, or user error, but this just didn't come out as crisp as I would have liked. I took several and all had this same "fuzziness" to them. Even when they were of non moving objects.

The lens was a cheaper one, and maybe I'm just paying the price for it. It is an Access Temp 75-200mm lens on a Sony A100 DSLR.

Shutter = 1250

ISO = 400 (i think it was set to auto)

Zoomed all the way out at 200mm

Using Shutter Priority

 

This was another I took later and even though there was no action in the shot, it was still a little fuzzy.<br>

All are great ... I love the little tykes. Barry, Peter, and Wilson: Just curious about your equipment, especially the lens you use. Also interested in settings. I have a Nikon D80 and am curious if you shoot using "manual," "sports," or "program" settings. Your photos are ALWAYS perfect. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Laura,

During the spring season I'm using two lenses: the 70-200 2.8 (softball, track & field)

and the 300 2.8 (lacrosse, soccer, baseball).

I shoot in aperture priority (AV or aperture value on your camera). I shoot action wide-

open, 2.8. I shoot Raw. The metering on my camera (Canon 1D Mark III) is very good.

If I need to make minor adjustments in post processing, I do.

Look at the photos of others shooting your sport. Analyze what angle was used.

Practice, try different things. Learn your equipment.
