canusa Member 149 posts Likes: 1 Joined Jan 2007 Location: Sudbury, Ontario More info | Mar 16, 2007 08:10 | #22 i agree with trying to get some background blur. But to start off.. i'd rather have him still the shots than have ones that are totally blurry. Try it, and then start lowering the shutter speed as much as you can with still keeping the shots sharp. Good luck. And please do post the pics once you are done. Micheal Armstrong http://flickr.com/photos/mdaphoto/

Mar 16, 2007 08:12 | #23 Permanent banok, now we're getting somewhere.... I goof'd around last night with the settings shooting at a lit lamp.... by moving from the body of the lamp which was dark to the lighted bulb I could see what everyone is talking about by light affecting shutter speed, etc etc.. bizarre how we'll learn L! I think I'm at least getting on to some of the terms mentioned by a number of you , so a MONSTER thanks

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Mar 16, 2007 10:26 | #29 Most of all.. play with your camera.. see for yourself the effects certain changes to settings make. try only changing one thing at a time, so you can see exactly what it does to your shots. Shooting things close up, far away night/day etc etc. See how you like to take pictures. That will be the best decision maker in what lens to get. Lots of variables & "the setting" for one sport will/may be all wrong for another. Even just one shot later! Some help: FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

dbiggs Member 218 posts Joined Jul 2005 Location: Pickering,Ontario,Canada More info | Mar 16, 2007 11:46 | #30 I also shoot action sleding and with an SLR things get more dificault to get the correct exposure because the snow completly fools the metering in the camera and you will get gray snow alot of the time which will drive you nuts. I use a 70-200 F4 L it is the best bang for the buct expecally with a 1.4 TC on it it is loke having 2 lenses. You will be fine in snowy cinditions with the F4 because you will hae lots of light. You would be better off with a monopod for shootong action and the 70-200 f 2.8 IS is the way to go if you have the large dollars to spend on it however go to a camera store and have a look at the actual size and weight or the 2.8 it is huge and heavy compared to the F4 version. If you are going to buy a lens definatally don't buy it in Canada it is alot cheaper to buy from B+H and it will be on your doorstep in 2-3 days with only GST to pay as well  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
