Hello POTN,

I was just asked by my mother to come take pictures of a dodgeball tournament this Saturday. Its very short notice but in a perfect world I would probably rent an 85mm or 70-200mm for this. Since I cant I will have to use my Sigma 30mm and I also have the kit 18-55mm which might get the most use on the longer side. Has anyone shot a dodgeball or similar game inside that has some advice? Anyone with sample pictures using a wider lens than 50mm?

Thanks

The equipment and techniques used for volleyball probably will work.

In turn, volleyball is handled in the same manner as basketball or other indoors gymnasium sports, where the typical available-light combination is a 70-200mm f.2.8 lens and high ISO. However, 55mm or 30mm will lead to framing that is far too wide to lead to useful images. Also, an 18-55mm kit lens will be too slow for indoor action.
