I use a Canon Rebel XSi with a Tamron 18-270 3.5-6.3 and recently tried to shoot some shots at a basketball game. I used the sports setting and was pretty disapointed in my results. Unless the player was completely still shooting a free throw then I had a lot of blur problems in action shots. This particular shot registered f/5, 1/30 sec ISO 800. I try and pan with the action but I'm lucky to get 1/3 of my shots as ok. I saw this morning some shots by a newspaper photographer from the same game and his were crystal clear. I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks

Many things inspire me including all the beautiful shots I see on UHH. I take a walk near San Francisco Bay and airport everyday. I love airplanes, birds, flowers so I get to see nature's beauty everyday.

Something about ducks I find very calming


I see Hummingbirds almost everyday

ok thanks for the info. I'll check into it

I shot 5 pics overlooking city and would like to put them together into one panoramic scene for an enlarged photo to hang in a lobby. I shot them on a tripod and I got them lined up pretty good but they still need a slight amount of cropping to fit perfect. I do not know photoshop. So is there a service out there that can put this together for me? Thanks, Tim

I like looking up too...

Nice...Keep it up

nice shots
