[QUOTE="mstneel, post: 658113, member: 44600"] Hello, I have a Nikon D50 which I have had for several years. It still takes awesome pictures but I recently rented a AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm F2.8 G II ED so that I could take nighttime action shots at my daughters soccer games. The fields that she plays on are football fields with the stadium lights. She is a Senior this year and there has always been another parent taking pictures every year but her daughter graduated last year so it is up to me this year. I have taken pics at 2 games now and just feel like I am not getting the quality pics that I want. I have it set in the action mode, continuous shooting with auto focus on dynamic area but have also put it on single subject. Out of about 300 photos I usually get about 65 good pics but I do have to edit and crop quite a bit. I have had some people tell me to set the camera on Aperture mode instead of sports mode and adjust shutter speed and ISO, others say go to manual mode, but I thought my camera should do all the work and I shouldn't have to do all of that. Please give me some advice on what settings will is be easiest for me and will also give me great shots. I also have a son playing college baseball and want to take advantage of the lens and get good shots with him too. I really appreciate any help! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
