It's always good to see our snaps being put to good use (and not only being "pretty things to look at"). I appreciate the fact that you give good tips, but more so that you tell people to break the rules (like giving the subject of the photo somewhere to go). But sometimes, with these photos even more rules need to be broken. (like over exposing shots taken in the snow (so that the subject isn't under exposed). There's an example in the little "how to pan" instructions in the comments of that picture of the landing plane. However, it deals with the aperture and breaking the rules to get a better (read "more distinct") picture. Thanks again for including me in your tips on using sports mode. Jim "Blyzz" Sher Hi there,

I always use a 70-300 lens and no flash. I am concerned that it might be dristracting to the players. And other suggestions would be appreciated and it a flash is being use the setting suggestions also. I am hoping that by next year I may be able to pick up a bit of pocket change shooting basketball games and maybe for other sports.

I tried using it indoors for people that were moving way too much but the pictures of course just came out dark.. but I didn't really want to use flash.
