Finally a football match I could shoot: skeid-vif2-0543 by azathosk, on Flickr  skeid-vif2-0830 by azathosk, on Flickr  skeid-vif2-0559 by azathosk, on Flickr  skeid-vif2-0914 by azathosk, on Flickr  skeid-vif2-0700 by azathosk, on Flickr I missed the exposure alot this time. New camera (7D) and the fact that I forgot how dark it turned on this time of the year. A lesson learned!

I just had my first real experience with floodlights. It made me find out how hard I could push the ISO on my 7D. And it hosed up the colors. I guess I can fix it in post, but I just haven't had the time yet.

Haven't though about that actually, thanks for the input. I got an advice from a Scanpix-photographer here i Norway regarding focus. Instead of using the centre focus point, I should use the one in the top. That way the player's face would "always" be sharp, and that was often the most important aspect. Think I'll try it later today when I'll be taking pictures of Hasle-Løren - Skeid.

Crossposting from the snapshot-thread. A few from a football match yesterday (Hasle/Løren - Skeid). Tried a new technique today by just using the upper focus point. Worked suprisingly well.

BobTheCow posted:azathosk, your stuff is getting better, keep shooting and posting! You're learning to look for faces and moments, although you could still crop tighter on some (specifically 2 and 4). Thanks! It's really fun shooting sports. I'm going to have a go at shooting icehockey this winter. The team I support wants me to take pictures for the supportergroup. I agree with you at #2, but the reason I didn't to more crop at #4 was (after what I remember) because the goalpost and the ball.

I really like your second and fourth hockey shots. In the second one is the one guy smiling at his teammate being rocked face first into the barrier? Thank you! For my first try at shooting icehockey I thought it went pretty well myself. The guy smiling is actually another photographer. You can see the 70-200 just below his squirming face.

I'm trying to set it up for the match on sunday, but can't quite figure it out. I want it to add the tags for the sport, the teams, the match, the stadium and such. And then I want to have it all set up so I can tag every picture with the correct players. My advise to myself would be to rtfm and fix it when I've read it.

dakana posted:Really, it's tough using flash for sports. You run the risk of interfering with the game by flashing a player, for one, but the largest challenge is balancing the ambient light. Since usually the only time you're going to actually need a flash it's going to be super dark, you can't just pull back the exposure and let your flash illuminate since a single on-axis point source is going to look terrible with tons of hard shadows everywhere. It can sometimes be used effectively when balanced with the ambient to provide just a bit of lower fill light. I got a few shots that I think was "ok". The "arena" was a badly lit hall who could accommodate about 200 people. The ring had two-three lights directed at it, but it made my lightmeter go crazy. I used a Speedlite 580 EX II with the bounce card pulled up and pointed it ... upwards.  wrestling-7019 by azathosk, on Flickr  wrestling-7017 by azathosk, on Flickr  wrestling-7081 by azathosk, on Flickr  wrestling-7122 by azathosk, on Flickr

Thanks! The golden helmet is the leading pointscorer in each team. The white jerseys are Lillehammer Ishockey Klubb, the blue jerseys are Vålerenga Hockey (who also have Espen "Shampo" Knutsen as manager - the former Mighty Ducks and Blue Jackets player).

We have a part of the rink that don't have any glass at all, but the club don't want me there until I get my own helmet (they'll pay for it - but I have to get it first). Just got me a photo pass for all of the home games Vålerenga football (same club as the hockey I'm shooting). They play in the top division and at the largest stadium in Norway. Excited!
