I think I used manual and the viewfinder!!!!
But I see that I was f22 on most of em!
I'll post some more bad pics!!!

I don't think we need any more examples...the culprit is pretty self explanatory, I think ;)

If you can only get 1/30 at f/2.8 and ISO 6400, that rink must be lit like a dungeon. A monster lens isn't going to do you any good - it'll just get you highly blurred shots that are zoomed in much closer. Canon makes a 200mm f/2, but it costs over $5,500 and is only one stop faster than what you're currently shooting - so instead of 1/30, you'd be able to shoot at 1/60 - still nowhere near fast enough to stop action in a hockey game.

This.

And yeeesh, f/22?!!? No wonder! Stop down to 2.8 and your shots should be looking fine! Any particular reason you had your lens so closed up?

These three images are taken between ISO 2000-3200, and at f20-f22! No wonder you have no light.

Try it again, open those lenses up all the way, that'll get you a few stops of light, bring your ISO up to 6400, and use whatever that all gives you to bump your shutter speed up.

Dave

Sorry Dave, you are right but I will see the players so small, my question is if I use a 100-400 is from Canon and I zoom, I will need a lot of light!!!!

Sorry about the F22, I did got it all wrong, sorry again!

I'm sorry, but there's something you're missing about aperture. Not sure exactly what it is though...

Your maximum aperture on one lens was f4, and the other was something like f5.6 or so. You've got a lot of light you're loosing on those lenses if you set the aperture to f22. And that has no bearing on the size of the players?

Yes, the 100-400 zoom will get you up closer, and it opens up to f5.6 as well, so that's certainly better than f22. But I don't actually know that f5.6 is going to give you enough exposure.... but it's certainly a lot better than f22.

Maybe. Don't forget next time. Smaller number = bigger hole = profit.

Don't bother because if you shot them at f22 then that is your problem. The aperture needs to open WAY up. Then you might actually be able to get 1/250 shots instead of the 1/30 you were getting at f22. You could probably drop the ISO down a bit too to maybe 800.

Look at the settings before you start shooting. Know them and you wont have this problem again.
