Question

I am taking morning shots at my sons football game and I have it set to action shot and I had the shutter speed on 1600 some one please help me I want to get great photos they are only little once and I want to have great pictures to remember it by.

Answer 1

Things that will increase the exposure of an image:

- High ISO

- Long shutter speed.

- Small f-stop number (large aperture).

Play around with these to get the right exposure. Your camera should have a light meter in the viewfinder. You want to set these settings so that the moving arrow lines up with the middle arrow on the meter.

Answer 2

Make sure your ISO is not high. It should be around 100 when you are taking a pictures in day light. What aperture did you use? Decrease the aperture next time (Increase f) and that should reduce the brightness that you were getting.

Good luck!
