I just did a badminton shoot last weekend at the North Shore Open at Chicago. Critics and comments are MORE THAN WELCOME because I am still learning!
For those who are not familiar with “real” badminton, it is a very fast pace sport (world record of fastest smash was clocked at 421km/h). Aperture and ISO were permanently at 2.8 and 3200, SS ranging from 1/160 to 1/500 because of the changing lights.
The lighting was tough. The relatively low ceiling and scattered strong lights make exposing difficult because the light is different at every spot (like literally changes as the player moves if you know what I mean), but the overall lighting is weak. Anyone has any suggestion for this situation?
I used the 70-200 most of the time because I want to compress the hell out of the background. The background is just so distracting…
