Funny you said that!..hahaha...
I used to get bothered with dust on my lenses.
After shooting sports for a bit of time, I'd rather
have a dusty lens than missed shots because it
took time for me to remove the lens cap.

Ok, so you're using the kit lens. The 18-55 VR f3.5-5.6?
The only way I got my kit lens to take awesome pictures was if it was paired with a flash, at that point f3.5 or 5.6 didn't affect the picture quality much, although it would have been a lot nicer to have an f stop at 2.8. In your case using an over head flash like Jcardona1 and Xander would produce some really nice results.
Yeah I'm using the kit lens. So with lower f stops, the flash doesn't affect the quality as much?chonhzilla;4373584; said:

Lower number in f-stops = larger aperture for light to get through. There fore you don't need to use such a slow shutter speed, and you might not need your flash.
Yeah, I know, but for some reason the lowest it would go was 5, and if I raised the shutter speed even a little, the pics came out too dark.alyssatheurer;4373817; said:

Oh I understand now. since your kit lens' aperture range is listed at f3.5-5.6. When your lens is as wide as possible it will shoot at the full aperture potential of the lens. But when you zoom past a certain point (not sure what that is on your cam. I have Canon) your lens can no longer use that wide of an aperture so it jumps to f5.6.
What happens when you bump your iso again?
