2024-04-06 NCSU volleyball final spring match vs UNC

NCSU women's volleyball wrapped up their spring schedule last weekend with a match against UNC. It was good to see them in action once more. This "fix" will have to hold me until they start up again in the fall.

Even though I forgot to increase my shutter speed (duh!) here are a few from the match. Shot with a Nikon Z9 paired with a Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 lens. 1/1000th, f3.5, ISO 3200.

Fine work Rick. Volleyball is not easy to shoot. How was the gym lighting?

Being a D1 gymnasium it has pretty good lighting, not like typical high school gyms.

Good tight shots Rick. Volleyball is tough. I get to shoot the state high school championships every year. Inside a D1 college arena with TV lights. Makes a world of difference. But I still haven't mastered good face shots on plays at the net. Your set makes me itch for November!

Thank you for the kind words. I understand the challenges of plays at the net. I've been told to focus on legs/feet so dof will be ok, but sometimes the players and ball don't cooperate and go elsewhere on the court! I must admit in this case the equipment has helped me. The ability to select "people" on the Z9's focus tracking helps a lot.

Loving the epic pivotal moment captured in the first image Rick.
She moves with all the compelling grace and charismatic charm of a prima ballerina, albeit sans pointe shoes...
Excellent skin tones latent within... fabulous color balance for gym lighting.

Thank you for sharing your stellar efforts, they are truly appreciated.
