Hi everyone!!
In my true fasion I have delved head first into sports photography at night!! Crazy I know!! But my two teen boys love it and I'm not half bad. I've got the Canon D60 and am struggling when the sun goes down!! By the time Varsity plays I'm battling blurr. I'd LOVE to reach mid field better and would REALLY LOVE to hit the other side light or no light! I'm getting good with post production tweaking because of the settings I've found to work best make them come out on the dark side so i can lighten them and sharpen a bit. I'm currently looking on Ebay for a 400mm but since I'm still so new cant really invest that much. ANY info, advise, direction would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks
Sheryl

Too smart (or is it too much of a coward) to do what you are doing. I'll leave expert advice to the experts. But welcome to the forum.

Hi Sheryl, welcome to the hog. Ok you have a 60D, to give you the best advice, i have to know what lens you are using, what iso you have the camera set on, what speed you are shooting at, etc... I also use a 60D so let me know.

Tell me about it!! Im buying a used 400mm on Ebay tonight. Not the fastest but its one I can afford to play with. Night shots will continue to be challenging but we'll see.

Thank you Chinaman
It just being High school ball makes it very forgiving. I shoot semi pro football out here too. They are all friends of mine so they are easy to work with too. Plus they are really good about not running me over on the sidelines. (so far) :-P
