A couple months ago I took some photos at a flat track motorcycle race and even though there were some fairly decent keepers like the one attached below. I know that they could have been better, but not sure if it is something like I have reached the limits of my D5000 or I need a better lens.
I used my 18-55mm, but the results stunk, so I put my 55-300mm lens on and was getting better shots.
The track had the corners lit up with mercury street lights and I had to wait until the rider came into the lights to take the picture.
Specs:
Manual Mode
f/4.5
1/125sec
ISO -3200
Exp Bias +3
Focal Length 55mm
No flash & Auto White
Due to the high ISO, the pictures are real noisy but these settings were the only combination I could come to and be able to get a good exposure without blur.
Which reasonably priced lens ( less than $500.00 ) would work best for this type of shooting?
