Wyatt Earp Posted August 2, 2012 Share The only problem with big apertures is of course that wherever you focus will/should be pin sharp.So often not the best desired results are to be found.I would have like to have had both athletes in full focus.

geecee Posted August 2, 2012 Share no need for f2.8. but it does help. take the other advice. that's floating around its a fine balance to get enough light for the shots without the advantage of f2.8 but it can be done. up you shutter speed. and play with ISO and panning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted August 2, 2012 Share Some help please. I've got a Canon 500D. I took a lot of pics at my daughters Gymnastics comp this past weekend, but afterwards when looking at the photos there are a lot of blurred photos. Is it my lense that is to slow as the move extremely fast at some sections?(using the 18-55 and 75-300 Lenses that came with the cam) or is it my photography skills?Some good advice given. I've been photographing my sons' gymnastics for the last 6 or 7 years and came to the conclusion that it is just a bitch of a sport to photograph. First of all they force you to stand very far away, secondly, the venues are often poorly lit with fluorescent lights and thirdly, you cannot use flash. Gymnastics specific advice to try: Move around with your daughter, try to get to the closest or best vantage point for whatever apparatus she is on. Don't sit in the stands and try shooting from there. (Pity one cannot get onto the floor.) Use a tripod or monopod or some kind of rest to reduce camera movement. Some angles simply never works (rings from 45degrees looks dull but square on can be impressive), so try different things. Often gymnastics movements are too fast for even the fast lenses. Try timing your shots for the more static or slow parts of a routine. Alternatively accept the blurryness as part of the action.

But also, the higher the ISO the more "noise".. Think of a camera as a light recorder.. If that makes sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavandje Posted August 10, 2012 Share Sunset in the Dunes D100 with a 300 2.8 and a 1.4 converter which helps to compress the dunes. Shot directly into the sun, I underexposed by 2 stops to darken the shadows and highlight the sand blowing on the surface. marsbeetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted August 11, 2012 Share @KavandjeYou are fortunate to live in one of the most photogenic countries on earth.The dunes picture is absolutely stunning. The figure in the foreground is what lifts it to another level. Btw, what is he carrying? Kavandje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted August 11, 2012 Share I can't recall posting this one, but also from my recent trip to Austria. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8164/7630884746_72132bed9b_b.jpgIMG_0989-2 by OddPix1, on Flickr And a different perspective, I often like to take two maybe three shots and see what I get. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8011/7630890222_82e5dc24b1_b.jpgIMG_0990 by OddPix1, on Flickr Kavandje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
