[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 19708, member: 1746"] Mark, I know you have a 300mm zoom 5.6 I don't think it's going to work for you indoors. I shoot my stepson's middle school graduation indoor ceremony with a 55-200mm 5.6 with poor results using my D3000 at the time. I would recommend you rent (or use this as the perfect excuse to buy one) a fast glass zoom lens if your going to be doing anything inside and can't be close. Most graduations I been to have been indoors and in the school gym. See if you can get into the gym right now and shoot some sporting events. This will give you an idea of what you're up against before you get there and you can play around with settings and maybe come up with something that will work using a higher ISO. If your event is outside hope for good weather and get lots of good shots. That's my 2 cents worth. Rick [/QUOTE]
