So I'm planning to take my D7100 & 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 out for a test-run this weekend at a buddy's hockey game.
Now let me remind readers that I am still VERY VERY new to the photography game, and am still learning.
I'd like to know the optimal settings to set my camera to, for the best/clearest shots...here is the scenario
- Indoor, well-lit arena
- shots to be taken from the stands, approximately 10-12 feet above and probably 50 feet back from the ice, so that my shots clear over the glass borders
My understanding...PLEASE CORRECT IF WRONG
- camera in manual mode
- Auto Focus Single (AFS), single focus point, auto AFS
- I think i would need high shutter speed and low ISO (please provide suggested values)
I don't have an external flash...only the built in...don't know if I'll need it, considering I've played at the arena before, I know it's pretty well lit, but then again, behind a camera everything changes.
PLEASE DO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTIVE TIPS...Want to really learn and make the best of the opportunity to shoot!
Thanks!
