Division III Women Soccer - SBU vs Iona

Here are some shots from last weeks game, C&C is appreciated:

1.

Good shots.

I know there is little you can do about them but all the lines for gridiron are a little off putting

They just replaced the entire field over the summer so I'm hoping with a little bit of play they'll dull out a bit. They're rather bright at the moment.

Good action -- Suggestions x 2 -- Color correct them, bump the highlights a touch and consider cropping tighter.

great set. they really give a great feel of action

well done

Aram the white balance is off and a bit underexposed. Also they look like some have been run through noise reduction and really shouldn't have been if you were shooting at 1600s because you could have lowered your iso and lowered your hutter down to 1000s. I've never been too impressed with the iso on my MIIn and try to keep it as low as possible.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

As far as temp goes, two of the six lights in the stadium are giving off a different color that is changing my custom wb. I keep forgetting not to shoot in that area and/or change the color after wards. I've now fixed them in LR.

I like the looser corps, it's something everyone says about my sports shot, but I really don't like the tighter crops in sports. We're talking 1 & 4 right?

As far as the 1600ISO goes, although it isn't crazy noise I do run it through a low noise ninja to clean it up a bit. I like the outcome. You see something you don't like in the image?

I was more commenting on the fact I thought you were shooting at a higher ISO then needed.

Yeah the field isn't evenly lit, If you look up a couple of images, you'll see 1/500th at 1250, which is around here I bumped it up to 1600. ISO is hard to adjust on the fly sadly.

The last three are really underexposed, I am guessing by about a full stop. That really makes the noise much worse than it needs to be regardless of the ISO setting. Get the exposures closer in camera and I am sure everything will look much better. Noise just gets worse when you try to fix exposure during PP.

I don't mind looser crops but think they would look better if you eliminated at least part of the totally dead space.

great shots
