robgr85 Senior Member 890 posts Joined May 2007 Location: Poland More info | Jun 02, 2009 11:44 | #36 A pet photographer recommended a telephoto for portraits and action shots, so I played with my 75-300. And now I've ordered the 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens so I can take advantage of the IS for action shots. IS helps in 'panning shots', but otherwise for sports, for catching action (fast shutter speeds) I turn it off. It helps in reducing camera shake at 'long' exposures (from Your hand), not for freezing the motion...

dieseljake Hatchling 4 posts Joined May 2009 More info | Jun 02, 2009 19:22 | #37 Thanks for clarifying. It is the camera shake I'm looking to reduce, because usually when taking action shots, I'm on the move too!

Nor have I shot anything of pro quality with my cats. At a moments notice they can go off into tizzy and I need to be ready, so I'll have my camera close by and on. I usually have the 50mm f/1.4 mounted, I just love that lens. But sometimes I just have to shoot with whatever lens I got on the camera at the time, for I might not have the time and luxury to change glass. If I have a zoom mounted, I usually shoot at the max focal length, I enjoy getting close to my cat's face. I'll go wide if the composition requires it, like if all of my cats are doing something together. But if it's just one cat, I get close.
Reminds me of my Abyssinian Canon 5D Mark II, 24-70mm 2.8L , 50mm f1.4, 70-300mm EF USM f4/5.6, 100mm f/2.8 macro, other goodies.

I get the most amazing shots of the cats' eyes with the primes and a bounced flash or even better no flash. I will also use the 55-250 mm at dog park, but I really prefer the sharpness I get with the primes. 5D MkII | 5D MkIII | 24-70 2.8L Mk II | 50L | 85 1.8 | 135L | 70-200 2.8L Mk II | 580 EX II | YN560 x 2 | PW Plus III

drtidefan Member  88 posts Joined Mar 2005 Location: Mebane, North Carolina More info | Jan 22, 2010 19:43 | #43 I really like the results that I get when I shoot with my 85 mm, but often have to use my 70-200 when I need a little distance between me and the pet. Regardless of the lens you use, you'll need to shoot at the same level as the pet (get down on your knees or belly!).

I've allways thought, that hand shake becomes visible at times longer than 1/(focal length) [and I turn on my IS in that situation], I have to try if it really helps when shooting at short exposures too :>
