i just got a canon t3i with a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens
What are the best settings i can use for SPORTS
i know this lens is not the greatest with taking sports at night (of course with ligjt)
what can I do to take decent shots with no motion blur
Answer
Here is a shot taken at night.

ISO = 3200
Lens aperture = f/2.8
Shutter speed = 1/500th second
Your lens is two stops slower, which would make the shutter speed 1/125th second, difficult to stop action. If you boost the ISO to 6400, that will give you a shutter speed of 1/250th, maybe fast enough to shoot at the peak of action, but there will be some movement at the athletes extremities and of course you will have to deal with the noise later in post..

What is the best lens for my Canon rebel for action shots? Like football and basketball? I...?

...have some blurring now.
I use a 300mm zoom quite a bit for action, football, basketball, swimming and auto racing. But in the night football shots and basketball (indoors) I have quite a bit of blurring.

Hi. I'm relatively new at photography and I own a Canon 20D. I've learned everything I know from discussion groups, amazon's customer reviews, etc. The most helpful advice may be found here:

To date, this site has been my most helpful tool in learning about photogrpahy equipment. I'll usually check that site, then pick the suggested equipment, then go to Amazon.com to look up customer reviews.
You can't lose!
Also, if you're experiencing blur, you may consider a tripod.
