Very Busy Weekend!
It was a very busy weekend. shooting sport all the time. I shot about 2000 frame in 3 days. Processed 450 and the final result about 250. Sometimes sport isn’t about those action moments. The emotions inside the field is a good subject too. One of the best actions situations is in bright sunlight where you can shoot on 3200 shutter speed that can freeze a helicopter blades in the air, and I did that the same day. 70-300 f/4-5.6 is a good lens for outdoor sport. You have enough light to push the shutter speed and ISO far to freeze the action. Volleyball still my favorite sport...

Second, I didn’t think I have the experience to do it. Yes I shot couple soccer games but there was...

Short story shorter, I started shooting for them about a week ago. My first assignment was covering EMU vs. Ohio volleyball game last Saturday. Before I went to the game my Lukas (my boss) warned me that volleyball is now the toughest sport to shoot and man he was right. The ball was so fast, it was hard to freeze it. Especially when you shoot with D90 where you can’t rise the ISO too much or you...
