Message: [QUOTE="TheGrinch, post: 1039590, member: 20716"] General rule - Run a shutter speed the same if not higher than the lens size to avoid camera shake e.g. 300mm lens = 1/500th sec. Problem with shooting at f2.8 is lack of depth of field. If your focus point is not accurate you still risk taking a blurry shot. Best bet is to focus on a point on the track. Then pan the camera to follow the rider and release the shutter as he reaches the point you pre focused on. Also I suggest using a high speed film at indoor events at night e.g. 800/1000 iso. A monopod/tripod would definitely help reduce camera shake, but might be difficult to get into the stadium. [/QUOTE]
