Originally posted by bschriver11 I think your best option would be to set the white balance off of a gray card. I use center weighted average most of the time but might use spot metering in certain situations, the lighting is never evenly distributed so there are still lighter and darker areas especially when your talking high school sports. I've never had success with auto white balance, going gray is your best bet.
Can you walk me through how to do that?
Im just an amateur at this stuff, who happens to have a few nice lenses. Also would I have to do that from the field?
I am not officially doing this for the school; just my nieces and nephews, I won't be able to get on the field under the lights.

I was just doing the old 1 / focal length rule for hand held shots, because I had a 200mm lens. I could bump it up to 1/500.
