If you have a Nikon it may have Highlight-Weighted Metering which is for just these types of lighting conditions. Here is a link that talks about it for the D810, but it is on several other Nikon models...

Dont have a D7500, but the D500 is awesome! And rumor has it there will be a firmware update soon to allow use of CFexpress cards which should be cheaper and faster than XQD...

Nice! Maybe I missed it somewhere, but where were these taken?

WOW !!! excellent buy. I see you have a Tamron 150-600. I have this same model in the G2 series. Nice lens. Also, I opted for the Tamron 24-70 G2 over the two Nikon cousins.
I may PM you so that you can tell me how to use Pay Pal. I have a Pay Pal account but have no idea how it works with my checking account.

Agree, think it is a great buy! Interesting... I need to update the gear in my list... I upgraded my 150-600mm Tamron to the G2 model and I also bought the 24-70mm Tamron G2! Love them both!

Are you using support ??
Yes, a monopod for most of the time; however, I did use it handheld for some shots, but it is too heavy to handhold for long...

I've use the Nikon 28-300mm on a D7000 which gives me an effective fov up to 450mm. At times it's not enough. I'd go with the D500 and the new 80-400mm VR ED f 4.5-5.6. I would not worry about the aperture on this lens when coupled with the very low light capable D500. The 80-400mm is reasonably priced as well. I've done some research and this is a very good lens.
Thanks! I have not used that lens and I am sure it is quite good... however, much of my shooting is at night (high school/small college) and the field lighting is not that great... and for those, I really need the 2.8. And for those times, mostly, I'm up to ISO 3200 or 6400 at 1/640 and f2.8... not sure I could afford a slower lens... attached is a shot at a night soccer game when I rented the Sigma lens to try it out...
