[QUOTE="patrick in memphis, post: 234140, member: 10486"] Mac there are some variables in obtainin the best results.first take the lens and set it to the focal length desired that will determine your f/? Now remember that the lower the f/# the wider open your aPerature (the hole the light is collected thru)that is a big determining factor in how much/fast you can gather light onto your image sensor.next is your iso which determines how sensitive your image sensor will be (I.e.lower iso is good for slower objects and least grainy...higher is more sensitive also good for fast objects but most grainy) and lastly is shutter speed which controls when the shutter opens and closes.I will reattach my "best" pic thus far. I used a f/2.8 lens and a 100 iso with a ss of 1/500 .all the numbers used will balance eventually.I.e. a higher iso will let you take a faster ss and conversly a lower iso will allow a longer ss but with less "graininess" so to answer you simply set distance with zoom then start with a low iso 1-200 and maybe1/250 ss and adjust from there if it too bright use a faster/higher ss like 1/500 for instance remember higher number in right of 1/ is faster.I apologize but I'm writing this so anyone can understand and use as a guide line.
