SB bought me the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens for my 50D camera. I needed something better for my night, action pictures and this is probably that and more. I tried to use it for the first time this weekend to mixed results.
I wish that I hadn't deleted the images so someone could walk me through it. Basically, I had issues focusing. When I did get a focused subject, the rest of the shot was too contrasted or blurred. I tried looking it up and wonder if the blurred background was caused by using f3.
I then read more and it seemed that I may need to close the aperture to around f5.6-7.1 to get a uniform depth but that means lowering the shutter speed more than I think I should. From there the only way to shorten the shutter speed is by increasing the ISO but I think that I was at 3200 already so... difficult call.
I do not want to use a monopod if possible. Does anyone out there have any advice on settings to use for a nighttime rugby match?
