#1 and #4 were shot with 80-200/2.8 wide open and at ISO 3200. #2 and #3 were taken with 85/1.8 at F2 and ISO 1600. Had my shutter at 1/640 for all of them. I applied some NR in Lightroom 4 but not a lot, I think I had the slider at 15.

Nice shots Joel. Who won?

Thanks Don, the women Vikes edged the Pandas and the Bears dominated the men Vikes.

Here are a couple more from a Bears perspective, hope to bump into you one of these days!

lots of action - nice series

Nice captures, the ones with your 85mm look crisper , better colors, to my eyes.

Thanks guys!

As for the difference in shots I'd put it down to the stop difference in ISO, what I have should have done with the 3200 shots was expose to the right and bring it back down in post.

That being said I'm sure someone with superior PP skills could make them indistinguishable from one another. I just know enough to get me into trouble.
