My first go at sport (footy)

madpup · 19th of August 2007 (Sun)

A friend of mine plays for the team and i was invited to the first game to take some shoots of the guys in they new strip,
never done a football game before so its was a bit of a learning curve, the weather was s*** and the light was even worst, The team won 1-0

Madup:

You caught some good action and faces, but most of your images suffer from motion blur. From what I hear, the 5D handles noise well so kick up the ISO to increase shutter speed.

Have fun!

Thanks guys,
thanks RonnieA, but dont you think iso 800 and shutter 800 is a good speed for this type of sport, should i push it higher?, its just that when i pushed it to 800 sec the pictures got dark and all had to be lightened in photoshop, its that im new to this and i'v never liked iso above 400 because of the grain.

A few more..

According to the exif data, all expect the last two you added were shot shutter priority at 1/350, not 1/800, and @ ISO 800. 1/350 is too slow to stop heat-of-the-battle action. I prefer to stay above 1/1000, if available light allows it.

Noise is most noticeable in underexposed images. To combat this, try overexposing a little bit by increasing exposure control (EC).
