The fixture was at the new sprots hall at Dallam school, this gave me fairly good lighting for the game, this allowed me to shoot at a lower ISO than I have use in other sports halls keeping the image quality. The shutter speed was kept quick due to the action, this required me to use a wide aperture.
For the shoot I use my D610 with the 70-200 ƒ2.8 lens shooting at ISO 2500, 1/340 -1/500 and ƒ2.8. I set the white balance to auto due to the mixture of natural and artificial light.
I used 3d focus tracking, this is a continuous focus tracking system that actually predicts the motion of the subject to stop loosing focus in the split seconds the camera opens the shutter. This is the first time I have used focus system and it worked great giving me constant sharp images.
I like how your experimented with a setting you have never used before and its worked in your favour you've paid attention to detail like the shoes and people sat on the bench, great images
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirsty, its a case of needing the right situation for the settings. Once you have the right settings you don't have to think about them again allowing you to look for those details.
