C&C on Deer

[Inst!nct]

Faster shutter speeds result in sharper, less soft photos? I would agree with the exposure being average, but given my expereince with these deers in the past, average is good for me. My past photos the deer belended in with the background to much, very little contrast, also the past photos were taken on cloudy days with no tripod.

So is it fair to say, I should increase shutter, maybe kickup the ISO to 200 or 400, what would be a good range for the aperture? Does a lower fstop help with sharpness?

faster shutter speed doesnt mean necesarily sharper images, but with moving objects it dofes

i say shoot at f / 6 or so, 1/500, ISO 400

woops, missred your sig, i thought you were saying the 70-300 IS USM from canon was bad and i was like WOTT

If I'm not mistaken in assuming that all teleconverters work the same, when using teleconverters you generally lose an f-stop or two. I know with my Zuiko EC-20 2 x teleconverter I lose 2 f-stops. It sure sucks stuff up close with the 70-300mm in front of it though...

I wouldn't use any teleconverter on a 70-300 they work best on primes
