Hi All, I have an EOS450D that I do love but I feel is somewhat out of date. I'm mainly getting frustrated by it's abilities in lower light more than anything else. - I'm very much a beginner also! I find myself taking underexposed shots just to get the speed I need. An example might be my...

Cheers guys... And yes, my choice of weather was rubbish!

Thanks Kenneth, Will do, shame there're few and far between... maybe a trip to the airport without special planes to practice! I usually leave the cam on AV as I do mainly objects and people and do like a soft backdrop. I switched to TV when I decided that speed was the most important...

PPS... Swag... I love AP.. don't have the money to do it myself (2 x young kids and too many other hobbies!) but wow.. those images!!

Thanks all... to brighten up your day.. here's an African sunrise.... p.s. straight out of the camera!Untitled by Utterchaos23, on Flickr

Really good advice guys... thanks.. should have taken the sigma with me. Another thought... should the image stabilisation be turned off if I'm using 1/500+ ? Just found this - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/tips-and-solution/image-stabilization-when-use-it-and-when-turn-it...

Thanks [emoji2]

Thanks all, any suggestions of a lens? I don't want to spend a fortune and don't want to make this kind of photography my raison d'etre.... I also have a sigma 170-500 1:5-6.3 APO DG (?) maybe I should have used that?.. Always figured I needed to use a tripod with that though.

Thanks View... So it's not the body? No need to upgrade yet...

No postproduction processing. Haven't got time now days! IMG_0482 by Utterchaos23, on Flickr This is what I got at the red bull air race a few week before... Much clearer I think... And that was f6.3 1/500 238mm... Is it because I was too fast at the air show? Trying to stop the props...

That was f5.6 1/1000 200mm but I feel it just lacks knife edge clarity... Am I expecting too much?

Hi all, I recently went to an air show and took some shots that I'm not very happy with. I'm not sue if I'm doing something wrong or it's a limitation of my 450d which has taken some great photos in the past.... I was using my tamarin at full zoom (270) most of the time. The settings on TV at...

Hi all, been enjoying photography since getting my EOS450 a good few years ago. Looking to improve my technique, artistry and also learn some technical aspects I may be missing.....
