    Thanks Mark......ISO was at 800 and SS was 1/500 @ f2

    I left room at the top so I could crop to whatever parents might want
    5x7 or 4x6 . . .That way they can get the best crop possible.


    Thanks for looking

    Are you using a flash or is this gym much better lit than the ones I shoot in. I get iffy results at ISO 1600 f1.4 and 1/400. I still have to push the exposure in post a bit.

    Wow, with an ISO as high as 800 I'm surprised they aren't more grainy. How did you compensate for that?

    No flash...Our gym is pretty well lit..Not sure what you have. The high school gym is better...I am going to trt some up there later this month.
    I am pushing exposure also in post...It's tough...

    Really like #2. Love the expression on his face. IMO, though these shots are about 1/3 or 2/3 stop underexposed - the faces are still a bit dark. If nothing else you might want to try some dodging of the skin tones to brighten them up a bit.
