Settings for D80 - Motocross MX
Morning all!
Ive been invited to a few MX events with a pro photographer to advance my skills. Im not a bad shooter for static shots but action shots always result in a blur. A recent wild bird shoot went horribly wrong and no matter what i did i couldn't get the birds in flight. It was a constant blur.
I avoided blaming the camera for these poor shots and for the life of me i don't know where to start. A few pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!!
I was using the D80 with the MB-10 battery pack in good light conditions outside with a 18-200mm VR Nikon lens for the wildlife shoot. My other lens is the standard kit lens that came with the 80, the 18-135mm. For some reason i ant help thinking that i get a much better shot with the 135 fitted????
As you could imagine a bit of pride is at stake here and i dont want to look stupid!!!! Any recommendations for maybe a change of lens ar upgrades that i should have would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!! Many thanks!!!!!!! Im also looking at accompanying the photograher on a few wedding shoots down the line and again any advice on lenses i should have for the 80 would be great!
