how to take action photos with NIKON D60 cameras?
Iam holding a DSLR camera brand NIKON D-60 . Iam a soccer lover and i want to take action photos with this camera..Most of the time when i took photos, it becomes blurr or shake.........i adjusted the camera with continued focus with sports function in it.. Iam having a lense of 70-300mm tamron which fits in D60..
Could you pls let me know the outcome how to take action photos especially night with this camera ?. Thanks a lot...

1. I would use an ISO of 400 (800 if its too dark but you will get more noise).
2. Use aperture priority and use the largest aperture on your lens (smallest f number - probably 4.5) to get the fastest shutter speed possible under the conditions.
Use a tripod or monopod to steady the shot. If they are not possible brace against a post or railing, anything to steady your camera and lens.
3. On the first one, it looks like you were zooming as you shot (giving those outward "streaks").
Others will have differing opinions but I think these might be a start.
Im assuming its a 70-300 D-lens?? Its going to be pretty difficult shooting at 300mm handheld lol. Deffinitely invest in a tripod and like already said a fast shutter speed. Once on a tripod, you will be able to play with some slower shutter speeds for a little more movement in the photo.

I'm shooting with a D60 right now and have been VERY pleased with the ISO @ 800. I think Baydream is on the right path, but personally, I would start the ISO at 800 with no reservations. The whole goal is a shutter speed between 1/250th to 1/500th second for sports.
It is what it is.
