A few more indoor soccer shots

Ann McRae · Jan-08-2005, 08:29 AM

I'm slowly crawling out of the PP cellar! Too many soccer photos!
This one is from last Monday night - our boys won by 12 - 0, it was very boring! The refs played with the time clock a bit, trying to give the other team a few more scoring opportunities. Gave me the chance to get my son in action.

One of the many goals for us: (the black hue to the left is actually the netting that runs the length of the field - no more leaning in with the monopod!)

a shot on goal

and one of my little son (the hippy!)

Hi Chuck

I use the 20d with an 85mm f1.8 lens, ISO 1600 f2.2 in order to get a shutter speed of 1/400. Lighting is terrible!

I see strobes in Ann's future

Only kidding.

Again, you have some nice action shots.

Very cool! And your triptychs are a nice precursor to next week's challenge.

Ian - what are strobes?

Thanks! I'm finding that people are more interested in 'having copies' of the triptychs than single shots!

Flash units. For indoor court sports they are mounted on light stands or
in larger arenas, up in the catwalks. They provide nice fill lighting and
color balance. The same strobes can be used as studio lighting (similarly
to the ones I used for the party pics I posted a while back).

Strobes also allows you to shoot at lower shutter speeds because when the fire, they sort of "freeze" the actions.

I dream of strobes too.

I love the 2nd photo of the first triptych, the expression on the goalie is great!

Well, strobes are not in my immediate future

I am sure!

I love that photo too - that's my boy!

Thanks
