Should I Use A Tripod? I've been unsuccessful taking pictures of my dog in motion. We're spending a lot of time hiking and I'd like to get some shots of him on the trail. I'm using a Canon Rebel 2000, 200 or 400 speed film. I switch between a Canon 75-200 zoom lens and a Tamron 28-105 zoom lens. All my shots of him moving are blurry, even when I use the "sport" mode on the camera. I'm wondering if the problem is my handling of the camera. Would I have better luck if I had the camera on a tripod? Thanks!

Hi Joy, try doing this hand held again by following the dogs movements with your eye on the camera. When you see the shot that you want, carefully press the shutter half-way until you see the green light. Keep panning - then follow thru and snap the picture without jerking. Continue using the mode that you are in until you learn how to do this. If you can not do this by hand, definatly use a tripod using the same tecnique. goodluck =donnarae

Joy, My thoughts are that a tripod would complicate things. I am going to make a couple of assumptions; that you are hiking during the day, and that you can hold the camera **relatively** still. With 400 speed film, even 200 in broad daylight you should be able to get the shot you want. Follow Donna's directions and you will end up with a masterpiece. Also, remember to zoom in on your dog and a tip I just learned is, for the best shot, get down at your dog's level. Good luck!!!
