Thanks! I didn't use a tripod for this trip, so I didn't play with multiple shots at the different shutter speeds. in this particular case, I played with settings in lightroom until I found things that i liked.

I did do some contrast adjustments to that first picture. You're right - this is better:

That penitentiary was an interesting tour. We did it last year in October right before Hurricane Sandy came ashore. My wife is a little sensitive to ghosts and spooky things, so it was tough with her not being willing to go into a lot of the buildings because of it. I did get a few OK shots on my camera phone (the visit was before I got my T3i).

With all the automatic settings on the T3i, I thought it might be a good idea to actually try using them. So last night the "sports" setting got a try, and it's my first time using ISO 3200. Of course I knew it would be extremely poor, way too noisy, no quality at all with this cheap camera. I'm pleasantly surprised. More learning is in order.

Through the net behind the plate:

Not too bad, David, especially for using a 75-300mm lens, pretty impressive!

Did they give you any slack about taking in your camera & a long lens? I heard they don't allow cameras with detachable lenses in professional sporting events.

No Ace, no issues at all. I had a backpack with my camera and 2 lenses, a jacket (rain was forecast), and walked right in. However, it was a Triple-A game, light crowd, and I have enough gray hair I sometimes don't get questions. The Bills and NFL? Wouldn't get in with the camera, and probably not with the NHL. Things are getting pretty restrictive. You know I am not in love with the lens (there was a magenta edge to several shots), but sarcasm aside, the camera and lens did well at 3200. I won't be afraid to go there when necessary. I had thought 400 was tops. I will begin research as to what Canon models give the best results at high ISO, and maybe try to get a 300 f4. But the T3i has a home in one capacity or another. It's a good little camera.

I use the sport seeing for birds in flight and some of them are not to bad. That's with the kit 55-250

A recent image which I felt lacked something, so created four virtual copies in LR5 then merged in Photomatix, with a final tweak in PSE 11 using levels and curves.

Speaking of trying different settings, I was messing around with mine a little too. Tried TV mode with my Tamron and not too bad;

Very cute dog.
