Please let me know what you think I can Changes like setting now that I putting them on here some looks Blurry I really would like to hear what you think DelRae
Looks like you need to kick up the shutter speed. I always use 1/1000 shutter speed, Day games f8 or higher depending on if I'm shooting into the sun. Night always f2.8, WB I use a Gray Card, ISO depends on Day = 100, Night as high as 6400

Thank you very much I will try that very nice of your help sorry what is a Gray Card? and what does it do? sorry had to ask DelRae
It sets your White Balance - I also use an expodisc (You can find them on B&H, Adorama, and I believe Amazon. The expodisc is a better choice I think - but use a gray card when I have misplaced my expodisc. Check your camera book to see how to manually set your White Balance. It's easy and a lot more accurate. You may find some info on both Gray cards and expodisc on YouTube. Take a look
PS what camera are you using????

Thank you so much I will check them out I see people talk about them some time on here I have Bought
Canon Mark IV last Nov and I really love it and Canon Mark II 2019 I have the white 70-200 f/2.8
and 24-70 f/2.8 so you take sports pictures?
You have good equipment (even if it's not NIKON). Should be just fine for sports. Not familiar with Canon - but lenses are what a lot of us use. What is the Framrate you are using? Needs to be about 10 frames per second to keep most motion from looking like out of focus. What software are you using?? Just keep practicing - It will all start to come together. Trust me - It will take a while. Jules is a very good sports photographer out of Las Vegas. Check some of his pictures out. If you would like check my web site at ctap.pro. Only have a few games listed so far this year. Scrubbed all of last year's. If you have any more questions - Please feel free to contact me.
Have fun and keep shooting - Bobby

I do believe it 10 Frames per second I know it is fast and I get lots of pictures I don't use any Software and ya I have check out Jules pictures I wish I could at least get my pictures 1/4 as good as his they a beautiful. I will check out your sports pictures Thank You. DelRae
OK - You need to take a look at Post Processing software. Start shooting in RAW instead of jpeg after you get a program and learn how to use it. You will be surprised at how much better your pictures can be with post processing. There are lots programs on the market now days. I use ADOBE Lightroom Classic and sometimes Photoshop. It is a pretty good deal at $10 a month for both programs. ADOBE is frequently updating the programs at no cost to you. It comes with the monthly $10. Most good programs like LR, PS, Luminar, ON1, Capture 1, Affinity, and I could go on forever, take a while to get use to. However, there are tons of YouTube video's to get yourself up to speed reasonably fast. Like your photography - PRACTICE- PRACTICE - PRACTICE.
Have FUN learning and Shooting and Keep In touch with all on UHH (Lots of knowledge on this site)
Here are 2 I took the liberty to do a little post Processing to Not much difference - However Got them straightened and the color balanced a little

ya they do look good thanks
DelRae - I didn't mean to push - I was just trying to give some suggestions and provide some advice that most of us use to take advantage of the capabilities of these wonderful computer controlled camera's we all use. SORRY

Please reconsider shooting in RAW. It will help fix mistakes and optimize your photos. Your camera is a Mercedes and you're driving it like a Honda if you don't!

What were your settings for all these? The horizon needs straightening on most. Maybe shoot a little tighter to fill frame a little more. Comp is good. Thanks keep posting as the people on here will get you taking excellent photos with their knowledge and advice. BE SAFE! OH yea settings please.
