wrote: Hi, I have a digital Rebel XT. Last weekend I took photos of my daughters cheer team at a competition. I used the original lens most of the time (35-70mm) with the external flash on slave mode. I had the camera set on auto, however, most of the photos were still dark and / or grainy. How do I get the crystal clear phtos? do I need to change the settings to something else? The only thing I am planning to change is to possibly switch to the sport mode. I would like to stop the high flying action when the girls are in the air, but I am not sure how to get the quality. Please help!!!!! what settings should I use? Do I need to change settings when I change lenses? I also want to use the 70-300mm lens to get close ups when they are on the floor and I am in the stands. Marie Can't really give much advise that hasn't already been given, except maybe to look into faster lenses. I would look into the Tamron 28-75 F/2.8, it is lower priced then Canon's 2.8 lenese, but really close in sharpness. Then maybe the 70-200 for the longer shots that you wanted close ups of. |
