Stadium lights take a good picture?

Issue created by Emily: How do you take a good picture in stadium lighting?

I have a Canon Rebel XSi and need to be able to take pictures in a stadium but with a really fast shutter speed since it will be at a track meet. How do I do this?


Definitely is only about How do you take a good picture in stadium lighting? that you may possibly need to fix situations on their own. Confidently this element helps in many ways; and produce yourself far better. Praying only about How do you take a good picture in stadium lighting? may very well be a treatment in time.

Answer by Camera Guy

High ISO setting and have camera set on A and make sure you leave the aperture wide open at all times. You don’t have a fast lens (2.8 or faster) so you will have to put up with some blur.

.

However, to take a good picture in stadium lighting would require faster lenses.. 50mm f/1.8 … 85mm f/1.8… 200mm f/2.8 … 300mm f/2.8 etc.. and I doubt you have access to them. I would also shoot at a ISO of at least 1000 if under statium lights. Color is shot anyhow with artificial lighting…


Answer by b0b

you need to determine – from how far back from the action you will be – what focal length you’ll need. Let’s say, to fill the frame, you decide on 180mm.


Then you go and – for quality – buy a matching (Canon) “L” series pro lens eg; 180mm f 2,8 (aperture).


So armed and at full aperture, you may be in the range of ISO 800 or less in stadium lighting, which would help quality, too. Of course, your focusing will have to be millimetre accurate in dim light…at full aperture on a ‘long’ lens you get nothing for nothing, the Laws of Physics are immutable.


The angles of view for different focal lengths are a set established figure so you can calculate your field of view in advance, given the range (distance) that you think you are shooting at.


There is a problem though; if say, you need a 500mm focal length at f4 or wider aperture (to keep the shutter speeds as high as possible) then you are talking $ $ $ $ $ and really you should use a monopod which many stadia will not allow unless you have a pro press pass….


Compromise is the name of the game here, but each compromise reduces quality. To save $ $ $ $ , consider for one evening’s project, you can hire pro lenses (with a whacking great returnable deposit) and thus do not have to invest a fortune just for one event. The most common pro’ hire equipment is Nikon, not Canon, there are very good reasons for that, think on, lad


Have any idea greater?
