I was at my sons football game last night and used my monopod for the 1st time - great shots!!! However, it was outdoors and sunny - perfect weather. We have hockey again on friday and I think I'll try the 800 ISO settings, fast shutter speed, monopod, and live the the light for the 300mm lens. Aside from dumping $1000+ on a better lens, that's about all I can come up with. From some of the other posts, I hope software will be able to "clean up" the pictures!!!
Good luck to you!!!

The picture is from a practice - all edges and balance. He plays D so not to much screening, but he likes to introduce centers and wingers to the boards in the corners...
I'll try reducing the ISO to 800. I don't understand the shutter speed. Why would I want it slower? If it's quicker, doesn't it capture the shot without blur? Again I'm a novice and learning as I go. I love this camera - it beats the old fuji we had.
What does taking the pictures in RAW mode do? I picked up Photoshop Elements 8 and it said to take the pics in RAW mode and to convert to JPEG...
Is RAW better to manipulate?
Thanks for your help!!!

How about camera settings? High ISO? 6400? etc...
I'm a total novice at this and am trying to figure it out enough to be dangerous!!!

I recently bought a new K-X with the 300mm lens to take pictures of our boys playing sports. The football pictures I've taken are outstanding (outside with a ton of light). The Hockey shots are real grainy. Any idea for where the best settings would be - other than buying a telephoto super lens?
