Thanks again, CHG, I really appreciate your time and effort. I have recently been using the matrix metering, but did not use it in the samples I supplied. I am concerned about the exposure tuning as I had no idea what the exposure tuning is all about. Will look in the manual to see how that is done. Now if I could only find a used D500 with low shutter clicks, a verified US model, in good condition, at a fair price, from a reputable seller...........but I digress.
Thanks for your response, CHG. Here are some sample photos. I hate to go to high on the ISO to avoid noise. Like to see clarity of the ball using a slightly higher shutter speed.
Ever since I bought the camera years ago, it has been plagued with exposure issues. Most of the photos are of my 6 grandchildren involved in their sports programs. I have had to ramp up the exposure setting on the camera most of the time I shoot, especially in low light conditions such as night games of football and indoor basketball. Rather than invest another thousand dollars to buy a used D500, I am opting to send my unit in to a Nikon authorized repair shop. I will be asking the repair shop to not only look into the exposure issue, but also give the camera a cleaning and/or adjustments. My question to all of you is: Where should I send it to be serviced, does it sound like I need an exposure adjustment, and approximately how much should I expect to pay for the service. I live in Northeast PA. Thanks for your time!

Yes you did.
I have a D5100 that I may sell too.
Thanks, but I am looking for a D500.
Did I read this correctly??????????? $220 for all of that?
I would like to recycle those masks, please.
INK is far more unlikable to me. Implants are in the same category of ink though, in that anything to an excess is unsatisfactory.

Are there one or two flash mounts?
Each Strobie has its own flash mount. Thanks for asking.

I'm Craig. I began shooting with a SLR camera back in the early 80's when dating my wife (we both had cameras and photo outings were a great dating opportunity). I stopped shooting after a few years - as a young couple starting out, our budget just couldn't support the cost of film and developing.
Around 2008 I bought a DSLR and began shooting again. I photographed everything from flowers and bugs to my sons at their lacrosse games. I bought a motorcycle in 2013 and began taking trips. Unfortunately, I didn't feel comfortable packing my DSLR so my iPhone became my go-to (and the DSLR went on the self).
Fast forward to the fall of 2019 I was reflecting on the things I've enjoyed over the years and realized I needed to get back to using a DSLR. The iPhone no longer held my interest and there wasn't much challenge. I realized I enjoy the feel of a DSLR and being more connected with my gear; to me, it feels more like what photography is all about and I wasn't able to get that from the iPhone.
I now shoot with a Canon EOS RP and I love it. This time around I am committed to developing all areas in my journey as a photographer - from planning a shoot, to deciding what settings to use on location, to working with filters, to post-production, to printing.

Has anybody tried Altura flash . Considering buying a flash for my Nikon camera.
Any good or bad reviews would help. Still got some time before I buy something.
I bought the "Altura AP-N1001" TTL flash for Nikon" a few years ago to complement my D7100 and in conjunction with my Nikon SB-800. Great set up from novice to expert photog.
