Hi Everyone,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all the time ya'll have taken to "teach me", you have been extremely helpful. Now I will try to put it to work. I'll post some pics when my lens comes in and see what ya'll think. Thanks for the tips on basketball, I'll be photographing that next month. Blessings...

Well, I found a site that rents lenses so I rented a 200 2.8 and will post some pictures after the next game and get ya'lls thoughts. I am going to set the ISO for 1600 and see how they turn out. I appreciate everyones comments and am learning so much. Blessings...

Hi,

 

Thank ya'll so much, I am learning so much. For our home games I can get above the action by going into the balcony. Can you suggest a good lens as I will quite a distance from them.

When shooting sports should I keep it on the auto-focus or use another mode? I think I need a good learning book? Any suggestions here as well? LOL

Hi,

 

I am new to photography...I have a Canon Rebel XT and have loved it...mostly

doing portraits, stills, that kind of stuff. All in auto-focus. I have now

been asked by our small school to take pics of our students athletics.

volleyball and basketball. I took pictures for the first time last night and

the pictures turned out terrible. HELP. I am using a Canon EFS 17-85mm lens.

The pictures were dark at 400, so I moved it to 800, still dark, so I moved the

iso to 1600 and it was better but still a lot of noise and blur. Any

suggestions would be helpful. I am looking at the Canon 85mm f 1.8 lens. Good

idea?

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions and help.

 

Blessings...
