After posting last Friday's attempt at flashing football for the first time, I got a lot of great feedback and suggestions for how to improve. I took this to an evening practice and felt like I got more consistent shots, but I still have a long ways to go.
#1 I started by zoomin out to see where my flash was hitting. I am using a 580EXII zoomed to 105mm. 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#2 RB in center of field. 1/200, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#3 1/200, f/4, iso 640, ETTL +1
#4 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#5 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#6 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#7 Best of the night. 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +1
#8 I tried the flash below the camera while the team was having a meeting. I didn't like the large shadows this gave off. 1/250, f/4, iso 800, ETTL +2/3
It seems as though the only shots I uploaded to flickr were w/ flash in ETTL +1. I tried to pick the shots that looked best even though I tried the flash in Manual w/ 1/4 to 1/2 power and different FEC's in ETTL.
As before any help is much appreciated. I know it is about practice, but I like to hear the critique and suggestions from those of you who have mastered using flash.
