Re: Photographing FIRST Competitions
You may find it a challenge to get driver shots with the zoom at f/5.6, as the flash will not help much through the glass... Before I got my 40D and f/2.8 zoom, I used a digital rebel with a similar f/4-5.6 zoom, a way to cheat and retain some speed is shoot RAW a few stops low and then adjust the exposure on the PC... Give it a try if the arena is dim!
