[QUOTE="carguy, post: 612585, member: 12521"] Hi. I shoot hockey at a couple of local ice arenas, most have notoriously poor lighting, however I'm fortunate where I shoot as they have nice lighting. Your settings may vary depending on the arena you are shooting at. I usually shoot my D7100 in Manual, Center weighted metering, Continuous Autofocus, Auto White Balance at 1/640, ISO 1600 and f2.8 (Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 VC lens). Before I bought that lens, I was using the Nikon 85mm f1.8G (need to use what you have :) ) you may struggle with that 18-300mm Nikon lens. Can you rent or borrow a 2.8 lens? You posted JPEG above, I strongly suggest shooting this in RAW as you will likely need to perform some work on the image, especially if the lighting is poor. Good advice about regarding the exposure triangle. Sample with the settings and gear above with minor adjustments in Lightroom [url=https://flic.kr/p/QGWigf][img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/302/31968378824_e5fa9c75cb_c.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/QGWigf]MAHA District 3 Squirt B Finals[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/michiganclassics/]Joe Lopez[/url], on Flickr [/QUOTE]
