[QUOTE="aced19, post: 245641, member: 9734"] That's a big improvement over the last pictures. Way to go. Now just keep practicing and your keeper rate will go up. Picture 2 shows 1/400 ss and iso 3200 Picture 4 shows 1/1000 ss and iso 3200 The EXIF data also shows you shooting in manual mode. If your going to shoot in Manual mode then set shutter on 1/500 or 1/640, apt set to 5.6 then have iso on auto set 200 for low and 6400 for high. If pictures are a little dark then turn down your shutter to 1/400. The reason I say keep it at f5.6 is because your lens is open at f5.6 at 200. That way the camera has one less adjustment to figure on taking a picture. Also turn off your VR when shooting sports. But I think your lens is holding you back in the low light shooting sports. Shooting in a low light arena you need a 2.8 lens. The best buy for the money is a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 two ring lens. You can pick one up $600-$800. [/QUOTE]
