[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 784896, member: 29446"] The camera doesn't matter, such a great quote. O:) I was shooting in full manual mode at f/4, 1/40, 3200 ISO, and at 70mm focal length. You'd have a hard time getting salvage shots with the XSI. I'm not saying it's impossible, it would just take more work. You'd probably have to have at least a fast zoom so you could shoot at f/2.8. The 50MM f/1.8 would actually be ideal and would be about the same focal length on the XSI. So with a 50mm f/1.8 you could probably manage 1/40, 1600 ISO, and f/1.8 as the settings for similar shots with maybe a little bit more noise. Keep in mind that I was probably shooting with my 70-200 f/2.8L IS, so image stability was helping camera shake. It didn't do much for blur. This is probably all foreign to you, so for the best help you might pick up the book "Understanding Exposure". I've never personally read it, but everyone that has says it's a great book for helping beginners understand how everything works so they can get into comfortable stepping out of the green box mode. Yeah. The only thing standing is the chimney. It was abandoned though. My friends parents used to own the land it was on. It help up fine. It was a steady rain but it wasn't really heavy. I was out in the wet for about 45 minutes. The good news is it works fine. The bad news it that I need to buy more memory cards. [/QUOTE]
