Also, the more you zoom, the less light enters the lens, meaning higher ISO or slower shooting speed.

That statement is totally incorrect !

Yeah well, it depends but you’re right. I do have a 70-200 f2.8 but I was more referring to the lens that the OP was using. Zoom lenses don’t always have fix aperture. I have several of them. I should have said that his lens will be slower.

Regards,
There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
