Like Jeff says Rob, try the equivalent to aperture priority as I think Nikon call it something else ( just had a quick search and I think it's A mode ) set the 'f' number to its lowest setting which I'm guessing will be about 4 and turn the ISO up. I'm not sure how well your camera will handle ISO but maybe start at 1000 and see what the results are like? My camera isn't one that will go up thousands and thousands but at 1000 it works really well and I do indoor wheelchair basketball which is quite fast moving. The biggest difference would be if you know somebody local with an f2.8 lens, although very expensive to buy that's the way forward for indoor stuff with no flash.another point worth making is can your camera shoot in Raw mode? If so try that. What basically happens with JPEG is that not all pixels are real and some are filled in and so you have a smallish file. With Raw you capture all the data. You need a certain programme to turn the data into the finished photo but when editing you can do so much more with darker photos, you can even change the White Ballance after the shot. Hope I haven't made it sound confusing and more exciting

Many thanks for the advice guys and for the pmd link Phil, I will take what you say on board and give it a go next time.
I also have a Nikon D5100 which i bought as it has video capability, whether that would be any better for stills in the boxing situation not sure. I had then intended to sell the D60 but then changed my mind as i love it and it has produced some decent pictures in other situations.

Have a look at what Sigma and Tamron offer as they will be cheaper than the Nikon alternatives and still make some nice glass Look forward to seeing your next photos and hope some of the advice helps get the shots your looking for

You will see that in the link I sent, the photographer used the following settings with his new 17mm-50mm lens f2.8 1/60 - 1/80 ISO 3200 He remarks that above 800 ISO, the noise cuts in and he has to use Adobe Lightroom to take it down. Have fun Rob, (if your going) see you at the POL |

Sounds good advice Phil. Lens wide open to let in most light.. Shutter around as slow as you can with camera hand held but still fast enough to freeze most of the action. Again getting in light a priority. ISO at 3200 - This will cause noise in many cameras but is your only option to get a correctly exposed image. On my camera I can set the camera to auto ISO. This can be useful for indoor shooting. I set the aperture and shutter manually and the ISO sorts it's self out. I wonder if in the future the noise levels at high ISO can be vastly improved. It would be a great help in low light conditions a most likely cheaper than fast lenses. |

Just to keep this thread active I've posted this
Taken yesterday at the BTCC Brands Hatch. Anything you may have done differently ?

Did you shoot JPEG or RAW Jeff? I would maybe try it a bit brighter?
