There was a thread a week or two ago asking what "mode" we shot in...
Up until recently, I have been using Av and Tv for most everything.
That other thread got me to experiment more with Manual Mode and I must say I am hooked. However. I see now (moreso than before) how important good/fast glass is.
I would like to do some indoor sports work. However, my limited glass offers only an aperture of 4.0-5.6 and with that my best shutter is like 1/30 th or 1/45th (ish). I am uncomfortable using anything above ISO 800 (looks like crap)...
I am NOT very steady when it comes to handholding the cam? So a shutter of 1/30th or even 1/45th is pushing my limits...
Question #1
Are there any tips or tricks that would allow me to improve my results in this genre using my current gear?
Question #2
What is the REAL difference between a lens that offers an apperture in the 1.4 or 1.8 range to lets say a 2.8?
