Indoors or after dark you may need 2.8 aperture, depends on how bright the field is. telephotos and action require higher shutter speeds, probably about 1/1000th. Can turn up iso, too, 1600 at 5.6 is 800 at 4.

kf095 Out buying Wheaties  More info | Oct 25, 2010 14:57 | #32 tnebigyin121 wrote in post #11155760  ....I am most interested in general photos of the Kids and some nice portraits, my son plays Rugby and I am desperately trying to get some good shots of him in action, also I occasionally have some delusional thoughts that I am a wee bit “arty” and would love to take some nice landscapes and macro`s. ..... The good news for me is there seems to be a few options: • Nifty 250 • 70-200 • 70-300 • 18-270 (I love the idea of this) • 18- 105 + 2 x exdender I like 50-250 range for getting close to kids and candid portraits. Fifty and less are good for indoors, but outdoors it kind of useless for this kind of photography (IMHO). Even 70 is too short.  Canon EOS REBEL T1i ISO: 200 Exposure: 1/250 sec Aperture: 4.5 Focal Length: 200mm Flash Used: No If you are going to capture some sports events - 100mm and 2X might be too short to slow. I don’t know if 55-250 would support extender. 70-200 non IS – no problem, it will works with non-expensive non-Canon models. Landscapes, this is why I have 70-200. It has no external rotation at all, it means you could you use slide-in (Cokin and others) filters and polarizer. http://lh3.ggpht.com …nr4m4/2010_10_19_9169.JPG  Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i ISO: 400 Exposure: 1/200 sec Aperture: 16.0 Focal Length: 70mm Flash Used: No If you up to close ups, 70-200 has full time manual focus. Which is handy for outdoors. http://lh4.ggpht.com …uPsAM/2010_10_11_8766.JPG  Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i ISO: 400 Exposure: 1/400 sec Aperture: 4.0 Focal Length: 200mm Flash Used: No It has constant aperture from 70 to 200 and it is has good IQ, colors and range (70-135) for portraits. http://lh3.ggpht.com …/UB6BGrxS3I8/DPP_0113.JPG  Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i ISO: 400 Exposure: 1/1250 sec Aperture: 4.5 Focal Length: 70mm Flash Used: No M-E and ME blog
