You did the right thing. Sometimes it takes a bit of warming up to get "in the zone".

Aug 12, 2012 08:50 | #5 Great shots. What settings did you use? I shot a boxer sparring in a ring a few days ago and out of over 100, maybe 30 were usable. I found 2.8 to be the sweet spot with no flash. I am stuck on which ISO and shutter now. 70D, 80D, SL1, Sigma 10-20 3.5, Σ30mm 1.4, 40mm 2.8 Pancake Σ70mm 2.8 EX DG Macro, Canon 17-55 2.8 IS, Σ85 1.4, Σ50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM APO, Godox AD 200 X's 2, 430EX II X's 2, Yongnuo YN-560II X's 2, Cowboy Studio wireless flash triggers X4.Ian_socool FlickR
