[QUOTE="nickt, post: 713534, member: 4923"] Study that video that Mike posted above. Ask questions if you don't get it. For your DSLR happiness, you need to completely understand that. Now to apply what you've learned, you can do that in various ways. There are different ways to get to the same end. You will get various different methods suggested from people. All will work, but don't mix and match methods, lol. For me, I would shoot this in manual with auto iso. I shoot wildlife this way so I am most comfortable with this. The setup would be Manual mode. Set the aperture wide open. Set your shutter speed at least 1/focal length or faster. So for the 120mm shot above try 1/125. Set iso to auto with bottom of iso 100 and no upper limit. Some will disagree with no upper limit, but for now, try it. Back to the shutter speed, 1/125 is a bare minimum, you will likely need to raise it to not get blurry pictures if there is motion. Probably 1/250. With this setup, you can play with the shutter speed all you want and the iso will adjust to balance the triangle. You won't need to mess with the aperture unless you desire more depth of field. Although my preference is above, you could also shoot this in shutter priority and auto iso. You could use manual iso, but more thinking and observing is needed. I suggest manual or shutter priority because I feel for a dark scene with motion, shutter speed is most important and that is the parameter you need the most control over. For a dark scene, you also want to keep your aperture wide open unless depth of field becomes important. Keeping your aperture wider will keep the iso as low as possible giving a less noisy shot.
