Is this 24-105 good for shooting basketball? I was able to get my hands on a 24-105 lens just for a weekend game. I usually use the old EF 75-300 which is not really a great lens. The main issues I’m having with it is the insane grain and lack of sharpness. I’m hoping the since the 24-105 is an L lens it will preform a little better. If there’s any tips or tricks that I can use specifical…

What are some tips for shooting the sunrise at 500mm? In several months, the eastern US will have a partial solar eclipse. In my town, it will start before sunrise, be around 60% at sunrise, and last for 15-20min after sunrise. It’ll be over when the sun is at around 5 degrees elevation.

Shooting handheld or a tripod? So I have just bought a second hand lens, the 75-300mm, on an eos 250d, the problem I come across is that when I try to shoot at a higher focal length the details are not even close to sharp, due to it not having IS, so do I need a tripod? The camera has an F of 4-5.6 so it becomes a problem in low light conditions and I need to lower the shutte…

Shooting Concerts With f/4.5? I’m pretty new to photography and want to shoot some pics of my friend’s band soon. I’m using a Canon EOS Elan with a 35-105mm f/4.5-5.6 lens, and I’ve read that f/4.5 is small for concerts but I don’t have any smaller. I also don’t have a tripod and even if I did it wouldn’t be feasible to use in this venue. My question is, then, what film spee…

Shooting (black) dogs? I just bought a Sony A7iii and a Sony 85mm F/2.8 portrait lens – and I am loving experimenting with this as a relative newbie! My problem is, however, that I often find it difficult to get the right focus on my (very black) dog. The camera struggles to use animal eye detection on her and can’t really find it at all. So I’ve tried different focus…

Recompose a bit, new shot, maybe two, three. When I see photographers on Youtube, many of them are using their (mirrorless) camera like a machine gun, shooting at the max. FPS and just goi…
