I recently process a bunch of soccer pics with DPP. I found that it new when I switched between portrait and landscape and sized accordingly. Also I had a couple of odd crops not the same ratios as...

First a caveat, I am not a pro, or even an experiences amatuer.


My short answer is give DPP a try, read Brian's workflow article on this site, and be patient. What it does with your shots is...

Bob,


I've been shooting my daughter playing soccer for about 18 months now. I have read a lot about sports shooting, and I am much better than when I started. You wouldn't believe how rusty you...

Daniel,


I recently read the thread on RAW histograms, and now this thread gives me a new thought. I'm typically out shooting my daughter on the soccer field. I'm now thinking that my set-up...

Sorry for the delayed response, it's been really crazy at work this week.


I pretty much leave the focus on the back button all the time now. However, that custom function has several options,...

Canoli,


I too am a first year DSLR owner/shooter, keep this in mind, I am not an expert.


I have been primarily shooting my daughter playing soccer, so I have an understanding of what you...

I had a somewhat similar experience at the NCAA Wrestling nationals last spring. I had been shooting from the stands (I was spectating and just playing with the camera) for two days during the...

Jorundr-Jorgensen,


I have the opposite problem. My wife frowns at me if I try to keep all the pictures. Maybe it's because she's and engineer ;-)

Correct. ISO 1600 always has less noise for a fixed exposure, but that doesn't mean we should always use it. High ISO has a price: clipped highlights. That price is always far too high to pay, except...

Indoor sports with a 50 1.8? You, sir, are a braver man than I. I only get out the nifty fifty if I'm dead sure it's going to be a situation that doesn't require a reasonably fast autofocus speed.

Brendanmcd22,


I just got into a DSLR last year, also for shooting sports primarily. I currently have a 30D, 18-55 kit lens, 50 1.8 and a 70-200 f4. I mostly shoot outdoors (soccer) so the 70-200...

A very easy question for me to answer, I only have three lenses!


18-55 non-IS Kit


50 1.8


70-200 f4 non-IS

Dave,


I have the same lens and absolutely love it. I too am on a budget, I have to get my better half's approval ;-)





I chose this lens because it was the best balance of price and...

Madison,


After wading through the fire swamp of posts on DOF I remembered a suggestions made by a gentleman name Scott Kelby in on of his books. Basically, go to someone in charge of the museum...

I am a fairly new DSLR owner (just over a year) and I am looking to start working on composition. I've spent the last year getting to know my gear and I am pretty comfortable with it now. I have a...

Dragon,


My father-in-law just got back from a three week African safari trip. He is a Nikon shooter, but he has an 18-200 lens on his D80. I would have guessed he would have been disappointed...

Alex,


If I were in your position I would consider an 85 1.8 and one longer lens. My reasoning is as follows. For the family and travel shots I think you are covered with the 17-85 and the 12-24....

This is more of a candid than a portrait, but here goes....


My daughter between games at an out of town soccer tournament. Shot from about 10 feet away, open window at my back, camera left,...

TSEvanson,


It sounds like we have nearly identical setups, 18-55 kit, 50 f/1.8, and 70-200 f/4. I got the 70-200 to go on my 30D as a poor man's sports shooting setup. I mainly shoot my daughter...

OK,


Here is a follow on question for you, is the DNG format truly an archival quality file. In other words, if I convert to DNG have I lost anything that was only in the CR2 format? I know Adobe...

OK, I'm obviously missing something here, EVF is electronic view finder (right?). So what is the difference between what you are talking about and the EVF on my old Canon Powershot S1 IS? Is it the...

Mark and Daniel, Thanks for the feedback.





David

I'm still pretty new to digital photography and I am still trying to get comfortable with a basic workflow. My primary efforts are shooting my daughter's soccer team, but I dabble in other things,...

Oren,


I'm new to DSLR having switched over in the last year, so I am very familiar with the questions and frustrations you are going through right now. The previous posters have given you much...
