Nice shot of us!

Anyway.
I use a Canon Rebel XTi, either a 18-55mm or a 75-300mm lens, 1600ISO, Manual mode with no flash, and I adjust the shutter for the best exposure.
you can look at some of my pictures of the Silicon Valley Regional here: http://picasaweb.google.com/little.john.team100

I know that some of my pics are horrible but i take alot and don't filter them out when i upload them.I just have to say that I hate the lighting at regionals. The pit lighting is the worst, but the field is ok. I know that an ISO of 1600 makes you pics really grainy but i take them Large (3888x2592) so most of the time I shrink them down and at that size most people wouldn't notice it too much. Message me if you have any questions or comments.
