[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 198844, member: 15754"] I have been shooting some freshman football games lately that start at 6 PM and run until about 8 PM. I am using a Nikon 70-200mm f/4 and a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 both with VR. I have been using shutter priority mode with the shutter set to 1/500. I start the game with the iso set to 100 or 200 depending on the light and then increase the iso as it starts getting dark. At some point I usuallly switch over to auto-iso since the lighting becomes a little inconsistent. I personally have found that using my D7100 without a monopod and VR on seems to work better for me than with a monopod and VR off. Since I am shooting from the stands I have been using the crop mode on the D7100 which makes the 300mm a 600mm equivalent. [/QUOTE]
