[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 36300, member: 1926"] A couple months ago I took some photos at a flat track motorcycle race and even though there were some fairly decent keepers like the one attached below. I know that they could have been better, but not sure if it is something like I have reached the limits of my D5000 or I need a better lens. I used my 18-55mm, but the results stunk, so I put my 55-300mm lens on and was getting better shots. The track had the corners lit up with mercury street lights and I had to wait until the rider came into the lights to take the picture. [ATTACH]6203._xfImport[/ATTACH] Specs: Manual Mode f/4.5 1/125sec ISO -3200 Exp Bias +3 Focal Length 55mm No flash & Auto White Due to the high ISO, the pictures are real noisy but these settings were the only combination I could come to and be able to get a good exposure without blur. Which reasonably priced lens ( less than $500.00 ) would work best for this type of shooting? [/QUOTE]
