Gymnastics Meet

17 Feb

I had the opportunity to shoot a gymnastics meet with a few friends last week. We were working under about the worst lighting conditions possible, and were pushing our cameras to their absolute limits. After going through nearly 5000 photos…here’s a few of them. I used a terrible way to resize them so they look a lot grainier than they should. Just about all of these were taken with my 70-200 2.8. I tried using my 50 1.4 but it seemed to have trouble tracking in the low light…so it got very little use.

Faith Basketball 1-22-2010

31 Jan

I headed out to Faith Christian School last week and took some shots during the guys and girls varsity basketball games. I refuse to believe that I looked that young at that age. Anyway, I didn’t use any lights and my shots came out a little dark. I was concerned that I might blind the players, so I left my speedlights at home. If I go back again I think I’ll set up light in the corners and bounce them off the ceiling. I think things will drastically improve if I do that. I used my Nikon 70-200 2.8 for all of these.
