    Jv football game

    Well I took pictures last night at our football game. I got a pass to get on the sidelines, I like shooting there a lot better than behind a fence. Our team didn't play so well, 0-35. Our varsity game is tonight, I think I'll probably go to that and take some pictures too. I should of used a higher shutter speed, some pictures are blurry. Heres a few I took.










    Any criticism would be cool.

    Re: Jv football game

    Not bad for night HS football. It does look like you could benefit from raising the shutter speed a bit. Keep in mind that if you're using flash that you may be limited by the max sync speed if using a dedicated (one made for your particular camera) flash. Raising the shutter speed when using flash reduces the amount of ambient light you get but has no effect on the flash exposure. The blur in these looks like ambient light getting involved. I would start at your maximum flash sync speed for your camera and see how that does.

    Your getting there, and I think with an f2.8 you'd be doing pretty well, which would get some of the motion blur out where it doesn't belong.
