So I am back to shooting sports! My "official" Media Pass finally showed up in the mail this week so I am good through the school year and should not have a problem getting them in future years.
I had actually planned to shoot both basketball and wrestling this week, but wrestling got postponed last night due to the snow...but more on the snow later...First, basketball...I shot both the girls and boys varsity games at a local high school. I had one D4 with the 70-200 and the other with the 24-70. Info and lens below...
ISO 12800, 1/1000, f2.8 - 70-200 @ 70mm
ISO 10000, 1/1000, f2.8 - 70-200 @ 70mm
ISO 10000, 1/1000, f2.8 - 70-200 @ 70mm
ISO 12800, 1/800, f2.8 - 24-70 @ 45mm
I actually shot about the same number of images with each body and kept about the same number as well even though only one above was with the 24-70...
Back to the snow although I really hate to call it a snow storm...here in North Carolina, they closed the schools in our county at 11AM so that kids could get back home before any weather issues...Later that afternoon, we had a small herd of ten hungry deer who decided to eat a bit of our neighbor's grass...I shot these two from the 2nd floor window...Please notice the heavy snow cover !!!
ISO 10000, 1/400, f5.6 - 70-200 @ 135mm
I shot this last image as they started to wander back into our yard...
ISO 10000, 1/400, f5.6 - 70-200 @ 200mm
I was also supposed to shoot a horse show today, but they postponed that as well...probably a good idea, but I was kind of bummed out about it as I'd been looking forward to shooting it...
