Indoor events - low light, lots of motion, my worst nightmare...

I meant no flash with rapid fire shutter.... just the 50mm prime wide open and high iso...

flash will usually slow down or halt your FPS until it has recycled....

Ah ok, gotcha. Thanks again...

I'm sure - at this stage though, the general advice is enough to point me in the right direction - when I've put much of this stuff into practice and I feel I'm achieving closer to my best, *then* I'll put the shots up for more focused critique.

It's up to you of course, but if we see the photo and make suggestions - you will learn faster AND you can go back to the thread with your picture as a reference to apply and reapply what you've learned.

You know, if you want to test out low light shooting situation it is pretty easy. Just do it indoors, close the blinds and maybe use a dark sheet on a window or two... don't kill all the light, just create a low light situation.

To get things moving around, you can do a couple things. Use a kid's toy. I have a three year old and he has a few radio controlled cars, a walking dinosaur robot, and all kinds of automatic moving stuff. Try to freeze these things and jot down some notes. I like to just sit on the couch and keep track of where I am headed on a piece of paper.

I hate going past 400 ISO. I will but only after I have exhausted other options.

Yeah - I think I can probably press my cat into service as test apparatus..

An assistant with a laser pen can do wonders.
