You all have shared excellent pictures! Thank you very much

Naive's query

Situation: I was trying to click pictures of my friends playing football. It was ~6.30 PM (low light) and the halogens were on.
I tried to click pictures of them but most (except 1 or 2) came out to be blurred (due to low shutter speed) :( I used sports mode as well but the results were nothing great.

I was not able to capture a proper football shot (players in motion). Any tip on what to do in this kind of low light situation?

which cam? this is the kind of situation prosumers and bridge cams are good at

some really good pictures Utkarsh.. especially the one of the flying bird. I guess you and Sujoy will need to instruct me on how to use the longer focal length lenses. Seems that anything over 150mm needs really high shutter speeds or a tripod to get a clear picture.

superb pics utkarsh ...loved 1st one

@amlan always remember the thumb rule

SS=2xfocal length ....to get blur free sharp shots

soo at 300mm you will need 1/600 ss ...and in early morning its quit difficult specially when lens sweet spot is f8 :D

Thanks amlan,sujay, cyberKID, nac & Kaz...

@amlan, Sujay told thumb rule....but if you have something to make camera sturdy, you can change SS ....

yaah right ...if you have monopod or tripod then you can go down a lot ...I could shoot sharp shot @1/150 at 500mm :) with monopod if subject is still

Great pics everyone!

Just tried to capture the Milky Way last night. Was quite difficult since the adapter-lens combo hardly allowed focus till infinity. Gotta try more tonight if the sky is clear. :razz:

[MENTION=120687]Raziel[/MENTION], that's a pretty amazing pics. Would love to know how you captured this. And how dark was the place you went to to capture this?

Thanks sujoyp, Anorion, nikku_hot123, izzikio_rage. :)

I captured this using my normal gear, NEX3N, Zeiss Planar 50, Tripod, ISO 1600, f1.8 ,+long exposure.
Milky Way and other Space stuffs always fascinate me. Last year I had no cam to capture it and I've been waiting for this time of the year to do it. Here I captured only a part of the Galaxy with the 50mm lens.

You need to set the exposure according to the '600 rule' to avoid star trails. (600 / focal length = exposure time) So for a 50mm lens the exposure time is 12. A fast wide angle lens would give a full capture of the Milky Way while allowing longer exposure times without trails. (drools at Zeiss Distagon 21 :D )

My home is quite far from the city so it's pretty dark here in the midnight, no light pollution issues. Yesterday I could see the arm of Milky Way with my bare eyes so tried to give it a go. (A mobile app like Sky Map is very helpful to locate the position of deep sky stuffs.)
