Wow John....These are great....Great captures...Would you mind sharing
your settings... I would like to try some v-ball here soon..
Thanks!
I shot with a 20D and 85mm 1.8 lens
I shoot in manual mode, aperture 2.0, 1/400 ISO 1600
Now, the gym had pretty good lighting - so I coud push the exposure by +2/3 to get better results (i.e. if left to it's own devices the camerra would have metered at 1/640). So, IMO, shooting 1/640 with a more balanced exposure produced much better results than what the camera thinks I should use. In general, I've found that the Canon cameras will underexpose my sports shots by about 1/3 to 2/3 stops - their algorithms are designed to protect highlights. I've found that in low light they protect them too much and you end up with a histogram that's shifted to the left. That hurts your noise levels and your colors. A photo exposed correctly in-camera will always look better than the same photo underexposed and fixed in PP.
