Oct 21, 2008 19:15 | #1 One of my favorite from last weekend. Slight crop to get rid of some background clutter. What's going on with that pinky?  Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS, Canon 40D, cloudy overcast day - damn cold for fall soccer. More info about the shot on the blog listed in the .sig. My Flickr

The main differences will be that ballet will be under artificial/indoor light and the action is not as "fast". I have shot my daughter's dance recitals and you can take the shutter speed down to 1/200sec for all but the very fastest moves, 1/500sec should be good for most everything. Soccer is a difficult sport to develop a sense of timing for, you really need to know the game plus the action is constantly moving and changing direction. Dance is more predictable, which helps you anticipate the shot. [My Photos

I also had to learn about everything you did with soccer. They don't slow down! I only hope that one of these days I will be able to learn how to freeze motion. I have been trying to learn for MONTHS! But it will come.... I can FEEL it!! I can't wait to take the time to read more into your artical.... Thanks!!! Jennifer
