Hey guys.. I've just created a social networking type site for Volleyball lovers.. Those of you that know High School players can tell them they can create home pages to send off to recruiters.. I also created a photography group area.. All the photo album galleries have EXIF info for us photogs....

Your website is cool though. Is it a Wordpress template?

It looks like you're linking instead of using the [IMG] tags.

Still? I'm using the [IMG] tags

Did you try a refresh?

Only the first 2 shots show.... If you let off the shutter speed a bit you'd get a much brighter shot, though I'm jealous of anyone who gets a shot even this bright at 1/1600 Shutter indoors! Crop out the extra space also or shoot vertical to begin with to save the time and quality of cropping. Nice site idea for players etc.

OOPS I reloaded right after typing and you'd fixed the tags to see the other shots!

Thanks for the tips... I can use all the help I can get

I was trying to completely freeze the ball in some of these shots, hence the high shutter speeds.. I'll give your advice a shot this weekend.

I don't think a stopped ball is all that important in volleyball.. it's hit so hard sometimes that that I've gotten plenty of 'almost' frozen shots at 1/640 and 1/800. I've only shot one season of the sport though so it's just an opinion. The vertical part though if you're shooting from the ends especially.. should really help on 'spikes' to get the height of the ball and player above the net.

This gym I was so far back of the the endlines that I had to shoot horizontal and crop to vertical

I ended up keeping a lot of them horizontal because the white team dominated on defense so there were always two girls blocking shots

Shooting from the side I stayed horizontal usually

What are your shutter speeds on those shots?


The shots I posted above were in a pretty crappy light gym... each time I shot I learn more and more.. thanks for the tips

You can call it a crappy lit gym.. but you shot at ISO 2500 and a shutter speed of 1/1600! That's not crappy light when I look at the pictures. Even 1/1000 would give good results.

The first two are 1/800 and the 3rd is 1/640 ... I shot lots more volleyball but those were the section semi-finals (and last matches I saw for the season)

Nice shots, Myoungok. I think that gym is pretty well lit, however. I'd try to lower the ISO until you get the shutter to 500 or 640. Your depth of field looks great, but you may get more in focus keepers if you closed it down to 2.8. (maybe I'm just jealous that I can't get that low!). I'd also try to warm the pictures some in photoshop.

Volleyball is hard to shoot. You're doing good! Keep up the good work!!
