Thank you Alan, I know it took me a year to get back to you sorry bout that.
I did try to take some shots with a tripod. They didn’t come out so good. However the one I was using was not the smoothest out there. I have gotten a couple of new ones that I will work with later this upcoming season. I do love my camera, and take it with me every where.

I do have a question concerning under the lights sports photography. If I’m lucky I will be able to be on the sidelines, and there would be no way I can use a tripod. I find a mono-pod to be cumbersome so that leaves the camera in my hand while running up, and down the sidelines. Fast action with football will not allow for much adjustment. What settings would you suggest?

@Marie – I invested in a 2.8f lens for my Nikon d3100 for night/low lights/stadium photography. Not cheap but I use it frequently and get terrific photos.

Hi, having read a lot of DSLR reviews, I’ve decided to buy a Canon 60D. I’d really appreciate advice on the best (economical) lens for shooting martial arts; 18mm to 200mm? Fantastic site. Thank you!

I love shooting random pix anywhere I happen to be..I have a lot of hits and misses. Recently I have been interested in rodeo shots as well. My problem is after dark Stadium lights make my pix dark and grainy. I have a Canon EOS. Also Where should my settings be for less blur. One more request is your most appreciated advice for inside settings for situations such as plays where the room is dark except for the stage….and indoor church weddings…A lot I know but Im like a sponge for information right now…Thanks to you…
