Hello I would like to take some clear action shots using the wifes canon 1000d. I followed a guide on the web best I could and took a couple of shots today just scenery but they are very dark
The camera is set on tv
The action I would like to capture would be very fast as in a grey hound type speed
I have included this info but it doesn't mean much to me. I appreciate its a complex thing and I need to experiment but any pointers welcome Thank you
