I'm going to the Chiefs/Colts game this weekend and was wondering what settings I should set my camara for the best pictures from about the middle of the stadium. Should I use any filters, ie. Polarizer?
Any suggestions would be helpfull.
Thanks |

If you are shooting action pictures you want your shutter speed to be as fast as possible in order to stop the motion. To do this you will either want to set the camera in shutter prority at a fast speed atleast 1/250sec or Aperture Priority. In Aperture Priority mode you will want to set the camera to the largest Aperture value possible. I think on your camera thatis f/2.8 this will give you the highest shutter speed possible so that you can have you best chance of getting good action shots. I would go with Aperture Priority mode myself but thats usually what I shoot in anyway. I woulnt use a polorizer, you are not going to be getting very much glare in your photo nor will you be concered with have a nice blue sky in the back ground. The polarizer will just reduce the amount of light coming into the camera and cause the shutter to be open longer. As dicussed above it will probobly give you less of a chance of getting good sharp shots.
On another note have a good time at the game im sure you will have plenty of offense to shoot betweem those two teams. If you get any good ones be sure to post them. |

Thanks for the response. That was good to know. I was going to use Sports mode, but aperature priority sounds better. I can the turn on continuous focus.
I hope to get some good shots of Priest Holmes going over the top for 6. But after last weeks performance he might be a little tired. |

yeah you can use the sports mode, but you're probably better off just shooting in either aperture or shutter priority. you'll probably want a wide aperture anyway to blur out your background, so using Aperture mode and opening up all the way will probably work fine. continuous shutter is a good idea too, if you have plenty of memory :) and bring extra battery power! ;)
