GA 5A Volleyball Championship
150+ images captured tonight, not even 30 worth keeping. Sometimes it just goes like that. And the wrong team won

I think you did well. Considering the lighting and the speeds you were forced to use, a 20% keeper rate is pretty darn good
If you shot these in RAW you can still do quite a bit with them. I noticed some were a bit on the dark side
F2.8 is tough to work with in these poorly lit gyms

PS, if you don't mind, I'd like to d/l that first pic and try a little post processing on it, wen I get home?
I may have to break down and show up at a Milton athletic event to give you a little photographic competition!

Kent, c'mon over... I'd be happy to show you around the new school and getting some pointers.

I have some images from a College Volleyball game I shot on my page.
Let me know what you think. These shots were for an Athletic Company.
View them on the "Large or Original" setting for better detail.

I try hard to shoot what I feel would make me want to look back if I was the one viewing the images in a Catalog or Magazine.
But no matter what, Volleyball is the hardest sport I shoot. Usually all the Gyms are like caves, the one at Ga. Tech was no exception, it was horrible.

When I shoot for Commercial Clients I have to use Strobes to get the "Stop-Action" needed for use in publications and such. The Volleyball was shot at ISO 200 at f/5.6.
The NCAA will not allow on-camera flash during the games.
