I’ve picked this post title because this is what I think is the general atmosphere in the shots to come. I am going to say how I managed to get low light shots even with kit lenses. Actually, I used 55-200 Tamron f4-5.6, so that’s not exactly bright. But still, I managed to get some shots that I’m proud of. One setting that was constant was the ISO 3200 and the exposure was one stop underexposed, and then I brought it back in Lightroom. I underexposed the pictures to get a fast enough shutter speed to capture the moment.
Okay, let’s jump straight into the pictures…

Crater DH Cup
After running about after finishing my XCO race, I went to shoot some downhill action. Damn, those huys were nuts! 🙂 I first did what I usually do, Get out my Flash and shoot some wide angle shots with on-camera flash. Then, I decided to make a change. I grabbed my tele, bumped my ISO to 3200 to freeze the action, and started concentrating on composition. Actually, it turned out really well. The ISO is good in daylight with the Canon 20D, so I could use all the images taken.

Photographing tennis is not as easy as it might seem…
I saw this contest on the internet on shooting a tennis tournament so I thought I’ll go for it. Basicaly, I went there, spent more than 5 hours in total in the sun, but I think I learned quite a bit…
How do I shoot Mountainbike?
Now, first of all, every and each of us has a different style of shooting this sport. One trick I learned is to have variation. There’s no point in taking 200 shots in the same place with same framing for example.
I will take you through some shots I took with a friend and explain how I realized each of them.
