You're funny :biglaugh:

That was a very good explanation.....THANKS!

Thanks for the tips JeremyZ.So is manually focusing the preferred way?I have always used auto focus assuming than in AI Servo mode the camera will contiously keep focusing on a moving subject while I keep the shutter button 1/2 pressed.I can see where manually focusing and pre-focusing would...

Thanks for the replys everyone.I will definately check out that article that was posted.I am still learning my equipment set up and I probably need to shoot more pictures on different settings and see how they turn out.I mostly use my camera in "tv-shutter priority" because I undertand the...

Yeah,I am pretty sure it is a tecnique error or possibly I am overlooking a setting on my camera that might help me.I am still relatively new to this.I will try to get some pics up later and let you all give me some opinions.

I thought it may help to tell you what equipment I am using.I have a Canon 400d with an ef 70-200 f/2.8 lens.I always shoot in AI Servo autofocus.Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

I like shooting motocross pictures.Some of my pictures turn out very good but sometimes a fair amount of them appear slightly out of focus.Is there a tip that could help me get sharper action pictures?

Thanks Digital Matt.I am going to a different program and see what it looks like.I have a program that came with my camera I'll try.

I am using Irfanview and they are jpeg.I have my camera set on image size "small" 1250x1475 or something like that and quality "fine".When I open the picture it comes up at the size it was shot at and really looks good.Then when I resize it down to 600x800 it just doesn't look near as good to...

First off I am still fairly new to photography so please bear with me :wink: I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and mainly take motocross pictures that get posted on atv websites.My question is this:Is it normal to lose picture quality when resizing a picture.An example of this would be when I pull...

This is a great thread!I have jumped in to the "manual" settings on my Canon now and i am soaking up all the info I can.One thing I have been doing is shooting in the "auto" settings and when I find pictures that I feel turned out exceptionally well,I look at the info for that particular...

After I made the post I was thinking that the more af points used when panning would probably be better due to the fact you have more points to cover the moving subject.Keep in mind I am still very new to manual settings on a camera and I have tons of questions :D Thanks for the reply.

For shooting moving objects such as a car is it best to have just the center af point selected or all 7 of them?I do alot of panning shots and was thinking maybe the autofocus would "pick up" the subject better by using only 1 af point.Is this correct?The camera is a Digital Rebel XT.

Thanks for that tip.

Well,I purchased a lens today.I went with the Canon ef 70-200 f/2.8L IS :wink: This will be my first nice quality lens ever.I can't wait to try it out.:thumbup:

That's all I needed to see ;) Thanks

Does anyboby have any experience dealing with them or know anyone who has?Thanks for any input on this.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies.I do a fair amount of shooting without a tripod and after some thought and research,I think the 'bigma" may not be the best lens for me.I am pretty much looking at the Canon 70-200 "L" series 2.8 and the sigma 70-200 ex 2.8.What are your thoughts on which one would be a...

I have been looking to upgrade to a better lens for my Canon 350d.I have narrowed my choices down to the Canon 70-200 L series 2.8 and the Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX.I have read numerous reviews and it seems that the Sigma is the better deal because you are getting basically the same features for...
