RE: Cannon EOS 300
Damd good camera you got there buddy!
I got his older brothers EOS-620 and EOS-630 (I call them Phobos and Demos, after the moons of Mars, my 500mm lens is called Mars, I name all my equipment after planetory bodies 😛 )
The best advice I can give you is use high speed film, the best I can get now down here is 1600ASA, but there used to be upto 6400ASA. Becarefull cause blowing up pics with make them grainy and tinged with yellow!
Also experiment with other things before you actually try to take some pics, for example try taking a pic of a car on the road, then do the same with the apeture opened up wider. Don’t go too wide, best I can say is two stops open, but yours might be able to handle three stops.
Also Canon publish books for opperating these cameras, they are worth the money, and give all sorts of useful tips, the ones I have have a special section just for fast rate photos and even air show photography.
Remember ASA’s are important:
25 ASA is good for portraits.
100 ASA for people animated.
400 ASA animals animated.
1600 ASA for air show work.
Hope this helps, if you need anymore help feel free to email me!
