Comments on: How do I make my pictures I take with my telephoto lens brighter? http://www.publicinvasionpic.com/pictures/how-do-i-make-my-pictures-i-take-with-my-telephoto-lens-brighter Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:54:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: dms47949 http://www.publicinvasionpic.com/pictures/how-do-i-make-my-pictures-i-take-with-my-telephoto-lens-brighter/comment-page-1#comment-6270 dms47949 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:32:59 +0000 http://www.publicinvasionpic.com/pictures/how-do-i-make-my-pictures-i-take-with-my-telephoto-lens-brighter#comment-6270 http://flickr.com/photos/21125021@N05/2813103497/meta/ This was taken by setting the camera on shutter priority- the shutter speed I used was 1/250 and the camera set the aperture at f/5.6 and I used an iso of 100. I was using the same lens a 75-300. So the answer is to set the camera on shutter priority(Tv) and let the camera set the aperture. Always use the lowest ISO possible. <br><b>References : </b><br> http://flickr.com/photos/21125021@N05/2813103497/meta/

You have three controls. ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture. To assure you are shooting at the fastest possible shutter speed under the lighting conditions of the subject, use aperture priority and keep the lens wide open (unless that means you are going to over expose your images) If you find that the shutter speed is still too slow to stop the action, you will have to increase the ISO until you can. At this point you are either going to have digital noise in the image file or camera movement .... the noise is the way to go. As I am sure you guessed.<br><b>References : </b><br>proFotog It sounds like your are not reading your light meter or ignoring it.

Put it in AUTO. Set your camera's ISO as high as it will go. Sample, ISO 3,200 http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2852881936/ 1/180 at f 5.6 at 400 mm <br><b>References : </b><br> Are you in manual mode? Put it in AUTO.

Set your camera’s ISO as high as it will go.

Only then will you be able to freeze your images. You can get away with a slightly slower speed if you 'pan' the camera at the same speed and direction as the action you are photographing.<br><b>References : </b><br> You need to use the highest ISO setting on your camera (1600+).

Definately get the ISO as high as you can before a noticable grain appears. Often, the ISO is set very low for a 'cleaner' picture, but this means lower sensitivity to light. So try raising it slowly. You may want to spend an entire sports event taking test pictures, tweaking serttings between shots, then back at home review your images using a image browser that shows all the EXIF data stored in the photo, which reveals your ISO and shutter speeds. Adobe Lightroom, ACDSee, even Microsoft has put out a free add in for Windows to expose this extra EXIF info in the photo. You will want to preview the test images large, to notice subtle differences, the preview screen on the camera is not enough to see blur most the time if your speed is a hair too low.. I would be glad to tell you a magic setting, but im not sure it exists, more that you know a general range of shutter speed and iso speed that works, and constantly adjust according to the specific area.
