[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 411166, member: 13090"] A few things to think about besides equipment, because your equipment is not what's going to get you the Awesome Shot... 1. Shooting in these conditions is not "difficult"; it's just different. Get over the idea there are hard shooting situations and easy shooting situations. That's all in your head. 2. Panning. Learn how to pan your shots but be prepared for a bit of a learning curve; good panning is not as easy as it looks. Done correctly, it will be an immense help in getting better shots. 3. Don't be afraid of a little motion blur from time to time. Sports photography doesn't *always* have to a be a super-crisp, freeze-the-action type of thing. The creative use of motion blur conveys a powerful dynamic, a sense of urgency and motion. Use it. One of the benefits of both of these techniques is they *require* relatively slow-ish shutter speeds, something you'll be dealing with from the start I imagine. Sometimes you need to take what appears to be a disadvantage and make it your ally instead. This sounds like one of those times.
