    Dark shots

    Hey, recently found a lot of help on these forums re: my new D500 acquisition: https://nikonites.com/forum/threads/slightly-out-of-depth-with-a-d5000-to-d500-move.48713/ I'm finding myself increasingly frustrated that the camera takes very dark shots - especially noticeable when swapping out...

    Slightly out of depth with a d5000 to d500 move

    Thanks - I do have a tripod, but haven't used it yet. Would also prefer not to bring it to games - I'm only a parent taking pics of my kids and the wider team and sharing afterwards. I think a tripod would make me stand out too much - maybe just me! However this is useful advice - my son is...

    Slightly out of depth with a d5000 to d500 move

    Sorry aware this is a 'all the gear, no idea' kinda post :) Looking for some advice please. Still very much an amateur, mainly taking shots of outdoor kids sports games (GAA and rugby). I was having some decent success with my 15yr old D5000 and 70-300mm lens and was producing some nice shots -...
