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.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
