I can't seem to find a great deal of information on this and would like to hear peoples opinions or experiences.
I was recently photographing my son and his friend playing football at the park on a nice sunny evening. I was using a D600 with the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR1 (hoping to upgrade to VR2 soon). I was shooting in manual and to freeze them and the ball etc I chose a high shutter speed of at least 1/2000 and either f2.8 or f4 and then let auto iso do its thing. I basically just rolled my shutter up and down between 1/2000 & 1/4000 and did the same with my aperture f2.8 and f4. Here is a link to one of the pics from that evening
Now my main question is i had VR switched off, would you have done too? I have read that you shouldn't have it switched on if your shutter speed is over 1/500 as is not effective and can do funny things to your pictures? Is this true?
Also, what would you have done differently settings wise compared to me? The iso is quite high in some of these, but the camera can deliver not bad results, should i have set a lower iso? i only chose auto as i didn't want to be faffing about changing iso and missing shots.
I want to get better at taking these sort of pictures so would love to hear opinions/experiences.
My son loves his football and my daughter is a dancer so its always a challenge getting decent in focus/sharp shots of them both in action.....
Thanks
