How to setup a Canon 40D?

[Empire]

I want to set up my 40D properly to shoot good quality photos.

But, to have two settings.

When I borrowed a friends 5D it had amazing settings he got from the previous owner where it came to a blur at the end like this:

Yes these are my pictures:

And for the other setting just a standard nice high quality shot of sports (IE; paintball)

thanks.

settings all depend on the lighting in the scene you're photographing. learn how to play around with the shutter speed, aperture and ISO of your camera.

I'm assuming that to achieve the effect you want, set the aperture as low as you can.
