Thanks for sharing these jessypi! You got some great action shots. I will get a chance to practice soon...all day tournament this Saturday! Thanks again!

What would be great would be if you had a low light lens. The 50mm is good for this.........and, you can get it for under $80.

can't give advice, 'cause I don't know either..like the action in the second picture and is that a big bruise on the girl's leg--sure looks like it.

great action shots...

I think they are very well captured!

I think you shutter speed is not fast enough on these also, they are not as crisp as they could be. I know that is difficult to accomplish under these conditions. If you used a flash, that would enable a fast shutter speed, but still at a distance inside like this, that might not give you enough light. Not much help am I.

I know we talked about the fact that in some cases the events indoors won't let someone use a flash....so it's up to the lens speed at that point....darn it! You can only get so much out of the lens your using. The ISO is to high for a clean shot, although it allowed in more light for the lens you used it has a bad pay off of grain. But having said that you did a pretty good job anyway, the shots were good. Remember the 50mm lens you used in the other post was a little soft but even in that area of lens there's a big difference.... 1.4 ef 50mm......$79 1.8 ef 50mm......$249 1.2 ef 50mm......$1300 (new) So for the deep pockets there's always an answer.

The EF lens mount is the heart of the Canon EOS line of cameras made by Canon Inc.. Unlike the EF's predecessor, the FD, the EF mount uses a bayonet-style mount instead of the FD's breech-lock mount. EF stands for "Electro-Focus": automatic focusing on EF lenses is handled by an electric motor built into the lens. All communication between camera and lens takes place through electrical contacts; there are no mechanical levers or plungers.
