Obviously, you want to try to use as low an effective ASA (ISO) as you can. Also depends if you'll be shooting through the fence or unobstructed (ring or over top). If you can, I'd say try to get to 1/500 or faster shutter at f4. Adjust your ISO accordingly and then check some test shots to make sure you can live with whatever level of noise you're getting. I'm a Canon guy, so I can only speak for their gear. The 1D Mark II and Mark IIn do very well at ISO 1600. The 1D Mark III looks great at ISO 3200. The 1D Mark IV looks great at even ISO 8000. For the 5D and 5D Mark II, I would stick to ISO 3200. I haven't seen much at ISO 6400 for those bodies to comment on how useable the shots are.

I am shooting a small event in Reno and wanted to know what ISO and shutter speed you are having success with. I appreciate your input, Steve Josh, I am a big fan of your work.

I was on it for about 2 months a couple years back, best sleep I've ever had in my life.

Knowing the sport certainly helps though. I think the most important part for me is having the right equipment and knowing how to use it. Knowing the sport certainly helps though.

Acknowledging that you need both to succeed, which do you think is more responsible for your own personal success: natural talent behind the camera, or knowing the sport well enough to time the shots perfectly? Have fun tonight! (I'm rooting for Griffin.) Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones who found your niche early on.
