How do I take pictures of a hockey game with my Canon Rebel digital without them coming out blurry?

colemandre

I used the "sport mode" as well as a tripod and they are still blurry.

Answer
use the shutter priorety mode ((i think it's -TV- in canon rebel)) set the speed to 1/60...or 1/125....1/250.. whatever suits u .....set the W/B for indoor shooting.....use the tripod ....shoot in burst mode......
using the shutter speed higher than ((1/60..1/125..1/250)) may require increasing the ISO((depends on the lighting condition))...i think it's better if u had mention ur lens type, it's focal length and aperture ....good luck.

How do I take great indoor photos?

I have an SLR Canon and I take great outdoor photos but everytime I take pictures indoors my pictures are blurry! Even if I use a flash, any hints or tips?

Answer
There's a rule in photography that if you take picture slower than 1/focal length of your lenses at that moment, there is possibility that you'll take blurry picture. For instance, if you have a 50mm lens and you shot less at 1/50 second, chances are your pictures are going to be blurry. Mostly, this happens due to your camera is shaking.

How to avoid it? First, hold the camera steadily with your two hands, and prop the viewfinder against your face so it won't shake that much.

Higher ISO speed helps, but remember that it would also means more grain. I think at this point an ISO of 800 would help without being too grainy for your pictures.

Get a tripod so your camera won't shake.

Get a faster lenses (f2.8 or may be even faster). I have a 50mm f1.8 lenses and it's pretty good although you will need to "zoom" with your feet. At less than $75, it's just the cheapest thing you can get to take good indoor picture without flash.

If you're shooting at moving objects (children running, indoor sports etc), get a flash (I think a Canon 430EX would be good enough) but remember the further you take your pictures away from the object, the darker your pictures will be because of the flash limitation itself. Usually I don't take pictures with flash for more than 15 feet (5 meters) or so.

Good luck.

What is the best telescoping lens for a family?

I'm not a professional and have a Canon XSi. We want to take photos of our daughters during sports, dance, etc. I've looked at the Canon 75-300 and the Tamron 75-300.

Answer
When looking at telephoto zoom lenses...their price usually gives you some idea of whether they're good or not. If they're dirt cheap...they're NOT going to be very good. You'll have to raise your budget if you want a good telephoto lens.

The Canon EF 75-300mm lens (in either of two versions) and the Tamron 75-300mm lens fall into the dirt cheap category, so I recommend you AVOID them if you don't want to waste your money.

For sports, you would at the very least, want a lens that has fast AF (auto focus). I WAS going to recommend the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 as an ok budget telephoto lens...however, after reading it's review...the reviewer doesn't recommend it as a sports lens due to it's slow AF.

You could also take a look at the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (approx. US$500) but it's no good for low light/indoor shooting. For outdoors, I highly recommend the excellent Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L (approx. US$650-700). Though it's focal length is limited to 200mm...it is a top performing, professional quality lens...an investment. A faster version of this lens will cost a whole lot more.

Another thing to consider is low light/indoor shooting. The above lenses are NO good for that, because they're much too 'slow' (not large enough aperture). You mentioned 'dance' as something you want to shoot. If that's indoors, you'll NEED a fast lens (one with a wide aperture to let in more light...f/2.8, f/1.8 etc). For these types of scenarios, I'd recommend an f/2.8 lens with IS at the very least or a prime lens. A prime lens has one focal length (doesn't zoom) but has a large aperture, fast AF and produces sharp image quality and perfect for indoor/low light use.

Remember, lens choice is very important. Spending more on a good lens saves you money in the long run...because you're not wasting money on having to upgrade it due to it's inadequate performance.
