    Re: Furman Volleyball

    Personally, I think i would have upped the ISO a little to go at least to 1/640 or even 1/800 because it's college...

    I think I would crop the first one to we're not staring at the backsides of the players below the hitter also. If it was just the hitter and the libero then the look on her (libero's) face would be a nice capture.with the shot. I'm not sure if anything in the second shot is in focus, but if it was it'd be a good return/dig shot when straightened. 3/4 don't do much for me but show that there's a lacking of butts (pun because its' another BUTT shot) in the seats
    EOS 7D, Canon 24-70F2.8, Sigma 70-200 F2.8 (with or without 1.4 Extender), and posting photos on my website: viewthroughmylens.net

    Color and contrast are nice. Watch your backgrounds as the action can get lost with the distraction of the stands and the fans watching. Number one has some good action. Number two does as well but the image is soft. Number three is a bit too wide and may be better as a vertical crop plus, be careful about getting too far to the side or behind the players.The same applies to number five.
