Throw a public holiday in (today) and that could delay things even more.

Here is an example of almost no field at all

50mm f2.8 smashed the shutter speed to 1/500 on 800iso just because I forgot to change it back not because I ment to

Hi

I've been following these threads for a while with great interest. Like Krislin I have the problem of very fast moving creatures.

These are a few shots taken on holidays recently.

I tend to be lazy and just use sports mode, as when they take off - well they just take off and there really isn't any time to "adjust". Of course OH has no interest in photography so no use asking him to hold the dogs while I get the camera settings right. Hw just thinks I should be able to point and shoot.

Any comments/suggestions most welcome.

Canon 400D with the 2 kit lenses.

thanks

this one has been "very" cropped"

Just use a fast shutter speed to start with and balance your appeture to suit, ie favour your shutter speed. Nothing less than 1/1000 for a grey

thanks - the big white bloke has turned 8 so I thought he would be slow enough by now, but NO

will have to wait until the weekend

I do understand the camera as I had a "normal SLR" before the digital and used to use it manually all the time - but that was before greys

will keep trying!

I just read this whole thread, I must practice, practice practice.......... (I don't want to say I am actually confused, confused, confused... )

I live in Morphett Vale, down the southern side of adelaide. We should do the next WEA course together so we can work together in between classes to practice.

Hi Tahna, I am also planning to do the WEA course, are you going to do the INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY or USING AN SLR CAMERA course? I'm in Woodcroft, you neighbour.
