Hi,
I need some help improving my skills with sports photography. After photographing my daughter's first gymnastics meet, I have two weeks to learn more so I can improve my shots for the next meet. Below is a typical photo from the meet:
2012-01-13_0618 by grumpdaddy, on Flickr
This was taken with a Panasonic FZ150 using the following settings:
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/4.2
Focal Length 69 mm
ISO Speed 1600
Exposure Bias +2 EV
Exposure Program Shutter speed priority AE
Metering Mode Multi-segment
White Balance Auto
Focus Mode Auto
Image Stabilization On, Mode 1
Most of the pictures (including the one above) were taken in pretty poor lighting from quite a distance, Usually 50' to 100' away. I'm fairly pleased with what I'm getting, but I'd love to get the subject in better focus. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,
Mike
