I love this one although it was kind of shooting towards the sun. Anyone have any tips for shooting into the sun?

Move to where the gentlemen are standing on the other side of the field;) Your previous football posts are brilliant!!
OK. If that's not possible, expose for the shadows and adjust clarity, saturation, etc. to bring out the colors. The pants are black but they appear to be gray on my monitor. The sky will be blown out so you can selectively darken it to your liking in post. These would all be minor corrections. If it looks like this you've gone too far.:lol::lol:

Thats mind bending!

To be honest I'm not well versed in PP'ing, I'm more into getting it right with the camera in my hands!

Over exposing seems to do the trick some times but I can't really shooting in manual because I'm there as a fan first and photographer second so I'll miss too much of the action.

Dont.

Move if you can.

If you HAVE to shoot into the sun, use a hood and do what you need to add some contrast back in post.

Surely there's a more definative answer than "don't"? These are very technical cameras that we use and there are mthods of compensating for conditions like that.

If you can't move, then minimize issues by shooting manual and raw, overexpose your image slightly to reduce shadow and silhouette on players. Very similar to ice hockey...your camera thinks there is plenty of light because of the bright ice, so you need to overexpose by +1 or so to compensate. Same here because of the bright backlight. Be careful not to go too much...and then rescue what you can in post processing.

They may be very technical but theyre not magic.

Like I said, if you HAVE to shoot into the sun, definitely use a hood and add some contrast in post to make up for what you lost when shooting. Of course shooting raw will give you more flexibility when doing this as well.

Granted he uses a 1D Mark III, but Gavin shoots a lot at high ISO with the sun behind the players, & provides EXIF & fun captions as well. A Cricketing Compendium...

ISO 2500 looks great, too!
