This can be a difficult task because images often come out blurry. The best way to reduce this problem is set the f/speed or shutter speed to f/250 to freeze the action. Beware that the fast the shutter speed means that the aperture needs to larger to allow more light in the lens. A good aperture size for action images would be between F5.6 or higher if your camera allows it. However, DO NOT forget to think about where you are shooting, it makes a difference whether you are indoors or outdoors. If you follow these few suggestions it will make a huge difference in your photograph.
Everyone thinks to shoot bright images you want to have a fast shutter and low aperture. This is incorrect. The best way to maximize the photograph such as a image of the moon is to use a tripod, a long lens, a slow shutter speed and a mid-range aperture. What this combination does is that it takes in the light without overexposing the image. It is important to use a tripod or the image will be blurred.
Portrait images can be great when done correctly. When shooting portrait images it can be a good idea to blur the background if there is a large group of people or if you are trying to take a portrait of a person. This will make the photograph less busy. To accomplish this goal set the aperture to a small number such as F3. This will increase the aperture and shorten the depth of field. Then increase the shutter to about f/60, so you reduce the amount of light entering and reduce the changes of overexposing the image. Also, you can use a zoom lens on the image to help reduce the depth of field.
