Friday Night Lights



Well, i had one of the best nights I've had shooting High School ball. For the D2X shooters, you can pull 1600 ISO with little noise. You can pull 3200 ISO with some noise. These were all shot 1600 at either 250 or 320, all wide open at 2.8. Clarke Central has some nice lights for high school and it seemed to work well.

I really was enthused to get out there, mainly because it was the only game i shot this week. For you non-sportsshooters or the newer once, i just tried to focus on the game and the plays. I try to stay on the QB and look where he looks and either stay with him after the pass (when he gets leveled) or follow the pass to try and get the catch. Most defensive backs say that they watch the QBs eyes to get an idea of where the play is going. I highly recommend it.

Not much jube, very low scoring (14-7 Clarke) and lots of inside handoffs away from the camera. I didn't mean to shoot just Derrick Smith (5 in Red) but he's the one who made all the plays.

Whats it like to shoot with something bigger than a 80-200? ;)

They make lenses bigger than 200mm?!? Next I bet you'll tell me that all you have to do is press a button and it focuses for you. Ha!

Must be nice to actually have some light on the field too. We'll be at South Sumter and Leesburg this weeks shooting by the moonlight.

Well, at South Sumter, if you stay midfield, the light isn't too bad. But, Leesburg, thats a different story. Gotta love those flickering lights. Brown frames are awesome. This is all assuming (safely) that nothing has changed since I left.
