So i am going to the AZ Cardinals stadium to watch my son play the Division 1 championship football game. With this in mind, i have a sony a330 with a sony 75-300 lens. I plan on using iso 600 and the auto focus. some lighting from camera possibly but the stadium is very bright. Anyone have any other thoughts? I will post pictures when i am back. thanks Jeff

So i completed my task with some great pictures of my son's Division 1 State Championship team. I took a few over 500 pictures and will start sorting them tomorrow. I ended up using ISO400 and 600 kind of playing around. I finally used the Auto setting and got some pretty good shots from that spot. I will upload a couple and pleas i hope someone will give me some advise for the future.

I started going through some today, the very first were for some reason on iso3200. the color is light and not good at all. then i can see the change where i went to 400 and wow what a big difference. nice clear shots, only if i did not shake like a tree in the wind. No poles allowed in stadium so bracing is difficult. I will find a couple of the good ones and post later. Thanks for the reply. Hope fishing is getting good, i wish i could turn my AC off for the year.

Generally speaking shooting indoors will require you to shoot fairly high ISO's What were your settings? Aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Just pick a few of the shots and look at that data.

With football you generally will need a shutter speed of at least 1/500 to 1/1000 sec to get any stopping of action. The shaking you are see is likely due to a very low shutter speed which might have been caused by your ISO in the 400 range. With out a photo and the associated settings that go with the shot it will be tough to know exactly what happened.

If you do a search back though the posts I posted a fairly extensive primer on getting started with shooting sports.
