Paul these shots are great. Nice lighting.
I am going to shoot my first night football game this Thursday.
I have a Nikon D500, 70-200 2.8, flash, 80-400 4.5-5.6 vr.
What are your suggestions with the equipment I have?
The school has poor lighting as most of them do.
Shoot with your 70-200 if under the lights. On camera flash will get you tossed in most cases around the country. Your D-500 will do just fine. Trust your equipment don't let the shutter get much lower than 1/1000 and I always shoot the first shots on auto ISO to see where we are at. Then I make a decision on where I want my ISO. Some endzones on smaller fields are less lit so you have to adjust for that. One other thing, reduce the focal points under the lights. If you are running all of your points the camera will have a hard time locking on and staying focus. And you want the camera to be set on full time focus on Canon it's called AL Servo Mode. Maybe a Nikon shooter will chime in on this.
