Nice shots, but your focus seems to be a little off in all your photos. They look pretty really soft.

What lens were you using and what were your settings?

Tad early to ask, but anyone know of any restrictions on bringing camera gear to BC Lions games?


Some Canon gear. Some flash gear.. a little bit of magic.

You'll have to speak to their staff:

But I know the Canucks are pretty strict on what types of cameras you can bring into Rogers Arena. Get any favorable answers in writing so security doesn't bug you.

Thanks Cherny, your right about the bad focus. here's the exif info:
pic 1 - Tamron 28-300mm
1/40 @ f8
Aperture priority
ISO 200
Focal Length = 109mm

pic 2 - Tamron 28-300mm
1/320 @ f6.3
Manual
ISO 100
Focal length = 218mm

pic 3 - Tamron 28-300mm
1/500 @ f4
Aperture priority
ISO 200
Focal Length = 39mm

Pic 4 - Tamron 28-300mm
1/500 @ f5.6
Aperture Priority
ISO 800
Focal Length = 154mm

These were all taken late in the afternoon between 4:00 and 6:00pm, mostly clear with some cloud. (WB set for cloudy)
Any and all suggestions to improve are greatly appreciated (and needed) :D

I think it's more of an issue of your lens. It seems to be front focusing:

#1 the grass is in focus vs the person
#2 the tree trunk & grass in front is sharp vs the person
#3 the shoes are the sharpest
#4 the log and the butts
#5 the grass at the very lower edge of the image isn't sharp but it's the most in focus

https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=408255

I don't know how many focus points the 450D has but what focus mode were you in? I doubt this is the case because I don't think there's a focus point that low in the viewfinder to catch areas that are close to the camera. Do you experience this w/ any other lenses?

Yeah. I would think it's probably an issue of focusing technique. You could run a few tests at home where you shoot the same object focused in different parts of the frame and compare the results. Do this for several focal lengths.

If the results come out alright then you know it's technique. If they don't, it's probably a lens issue.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Cherny, I'll give that a try.
Thanks for the link Lost, it was an eye opener. The 450D has 9 focus points, I cant remember what I had it set for in these pics. I don't generally have this issue with the 50mm 1.8. Do you think it would help to use a deeper depth of field when I use this lens?

Thanks! I already fired off an e-mail to them. I know it's not the camera, usually the lens.
