What can I change here? Thanks for looking!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Canon 20D, 24-70mmL, 17-85mm IS, 70-300mm IS, 50mm 1.8, 580EX

More info | Apr 05, 2006 00:54 | #4 Sorry -- for some bizarre board reason, I don't see your attachment. If I try to show the picture, I still don't see anything but a red x. If I quote you, I get a link to the attachment that I can select to see your image. About the image: Robert_Lay says it better than I could. Motion requires a lot of light. This is a little too dark for me (underexposed). You might not need to max out your ISO, but it wouldn't hurt. If your goal is freezing the action, then definitely crank it up. If you're trying to freeze part of the action (say the batter) but not everything (not the bat), you might want to go a little lower. Same thing with trying to freeze a pitcher vs. getting a blurred hand/arm. If motion is the goal, then artificial stabilization (even IS) will be necessary. I do like the sense of motion in this shot, but at that image size it's a little tough to see if you succeeded in balancing the pan vs the sharpness of the faster moving parts of the geese. -David

Apr 05, 2006 05:37 | #5 Thanks everyone. Great help! This was taken in late evening. I thought there was still enough light, but I agree with the underexposure. For stuff like this, do you all use Tv and set your shutter speed or do you use Av or M? I wasn't sure about manual mode since I knew these geese were going to fly into the sun. Does that sound right? Canon 20D, 24-70mmL, 17-85mm IS, 70-300mm IS, 50mm 1.8, 580EX

Apr 05, 2006 12:27 | #8 Makes sense, Bob. I am finding this rings quite true especially the loss in autofocus speed when the light is not the best. Again, thanks for the help! Canon 20D, 24-70mmL, 17-85mm IS, 70-300mm IS, 50mm 1.8, 580EX
