I have asked for advice on this before when I only had kit lenses and was told that I needed something. So I now have the 85 1.8 and cant say that I am happy with what I'm getting either.
Place where we play has piss poor lighting so maybe I am just expecting too much.
I tried shooting with flash but found that 1/200 SS is not enough to stop the action although we are not that fast. LOL
Higher ISO (1600 and up) comes up noisy.
Below are few samples. I shot RAW and tried to process them to the best of my ability. I basically gave up on composition here (so dont mind that) and simply wanted to get the exposure right.
Am I at the mercy of the high ISO and noise reduction in post or do I need the flash that will HSS with my camera?
Please help me figure it out.
