As has been said, there is no magic lineup to try because the setting will depend on the available light. Typically for night action in low light you need lenses with a large fixed aperture (2.8 or better) or High ISO. Actually, both would be nice!
Rent a 200 f/2, or 70-200 2.8. Your current lens is probably maximum 5.6 or smaller aperture depending on focal length. A 2.8 lens will let in TWICE as much light or more. So I think if you could rent a lens, you will get your shutter speed up and have a better chance of keeping your ISO at 800 or lower. I am not familiar with the D50 though and what ISO you can go up to and still have acceptable noise.
To start, I would go with:
- Aperture of 2 or 2.8 depending on lens
- Aperture priority
- ISO 800, just be sure to expose properly using exposure compensation dial then use noise reduction in post processing.
GREAT reply and thanks a million too. I will rent something for this weekend and do ALOT of experimenting.
