How do I make my pictures I take with my telephoto lens brighter?
I recently bought a telephoto lens for my digital DSLR to take better pictures of action shots in sports. I am using a 75-300 mm lens. The problem is that in order to freeze the motion, I need a fast shutter speed, resulting in dark pictures. Can anyone recommend a shutter speed that freezes motion but still gets enough light to have brighter pictures or just another tip to help with my picture-taking? Please help me.
You may want to try raising the ISO settings before adjusting the shutter speed. 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.
Here is a newer, free microsoft photo viewer that may be of use http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/tools.aspx
