[bobman]

help me :mad2: ...im a bit of a noob when it comes to the settings of my camera...
ive had a good mess around with the shutter speeds and iso but still get blur...what the best setting for a average light day and being quite close to shot someone in the air doing a trick on jumping stilts...i do get the odd nice photo but i wanna setting i can use and tweak for this type of thing...
any help would be great!! thank you for your time.
forgot to say...i have a canon 400d if that helps

It would be nice to see a larger example shot and have more details about the settings you are trying to use now along with the lens type.

il try and get some shots for you to see...but i deleted all the rubish ones before writing this thread sorry..
my lens is a canon EFS (85mm) 18-55mm
im using the TV setting on 1/200 most of the time...

try shooting with Av, with the lowest number you can get. it will depend on your zoom length, but by doing that you will be able to get the highest shutter speed possible.
