The TPU Darkroom - Digital SLR and Photography Club

No probs all good. The first dog pics it was on and off with the light so I went into aperture ISO being up a bit helped keep shutter speed up but also had a 2.8 aperture setting. The pic of the girl was much more consistent with the light but had an F4 lens and have to have at least 1/250th shutter when on the long end of the 200mm lens as it has no IS. Admittedly looking at the dog pics I could have easily bought the ISO down a fair bit and still got sharp shots.

Ive not been on TPU much lately so here is another I did recently...

Two questions: is she single? And do you have her number?

I did notice they are all ISO 800. I try to stay in manual mode

I almost always stay at the lowest ISO; to change exposure, aperture size and shutter speed are always my first port of call.
Eighty percent of the time I use manual for shoots at night, as the camera can really struggle to understand what you're trying achieve, but occasionally (when I need to shoot quick) I flip over to shutter priority.

I used to watch my iso a lot with crop body guess i am getting lazy with the full frame

EDIT# I know a photographer that will go into auto ISO in changing light conditions in manual mode. Pick shutter Pick aperture and let the ISO do the rest

Here is one I made today of my beautiful daughter. She is getting excited about Christmas.

Got the 7D out today for some fast moving action shots with slow shutter speed.

 

[Jetster]

So how do you get fast shot with slow shutter? Steady hand?

1/30
f/8
200mm

Looks awesome

Panning! Everything apart from the vehicle is motion blurred because he moved his camera to track the subject while it moved.

Yes what Joel said.. I panned with the car so my lens was moving along with it. That gives the awesome blur and looks much better than a very high shutter speed and "freezing" everything.

Okay I tried it. Its a little hard with dogs because there legs aren't going the same direction.

Some other shots

But...you got the right effect and now it just takes a bit of practice to get (near) perfectly sharp photos I've tried my hand at panning a few times and it is bloody hard with birds!
It's true that dogs' legs move in the opposing direction to where their bodies are moving, maybe there's some way of addressing that?

Nice! What was the shutter speed?

Where was this out of interest? Looks like somewhere in the UK, but I could be mistaken.

Your comment is funny

Anyway what was the shutter speed? Did you do the Continuous focus in Shutter Priority mode?

I believe prime lens will be much better for this task (I might be wrong).

The first is 1/30 second 1/100. 300mm

Next time Ill try the prime lens

If I were you, I'd up the shutter speed for subjects such as sprinting dogs.
@suraswami had a good shout about continuous autofocus mode - might help quite a bit if you're not already using it
