Yes I was off a little. My balance isn't real good right now. Standing on the steps going into the dugout was real hard not very stable and made me wobble. I need to get back shooting at lest 2-3 times a week. I just have so far to go to get back to where I was. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Hang in there Tom. It took me about a month of shooting after my surgery. Takes time.

Settings vary depending on sport and lighting. Generaly in aperture priority with a shitter speed of 1,000th of a second or higher. Frequently shoot baseball and softball at 8,000th of a second or faster to stop the ball. Iso is set to automatic with a maximum iso of 20,000. Lenses on those photos are eitjer a 70-200 f2.8 or the Nikon 400f2.8 which has a built in 1.4 extender. The baseball photo was taken from behind the outfield fence woth a 2x converter stacked with the 1.4 that is built into the lense makin it an 1120f6.3 lens. On answer to the next question someone will ask about shooting with the 400 and a 2x converter that lens with a Z9 weighs just under 10 pounds combined and no I dont use a monopod. All are hand held. Hope that answers all of your questions.

I am going to chime in here. Your photos are very nice, but are you getting the most out of your gear. Maybe shoot simple. Like shoot in manual. 1/4000 at wide open, no no extender which softens the photos. I always use a monopod for all sports except basketball. Gear just to heavy for me anyway. When you shoot with a very high iso image quality will suffer. A monopod will help keep your shots in focus, limiting camera shake. Fill the frame with your shots, contentrate on quality each shot. It's very easy these days to depend on Topaz and other products out there to make an average shot better. That's ok as long as the shot itself has merit.
Just my thoughts sir. Throw them out or try a few suggestions. Your stuff is good make it better. You have great gear.

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.

You may see all of my photos from the match on my website: https://rickcornell.zenfolio.com/p1052747830

Dennis thanks you very much for the kind words about my photos. I hadn't shot anything for 5-6 months, has been hard to get around for awhile (my Neuropathy has been real bad for awhile). So I was surprised I did so good. BE SFE!!

Tom


A lot of nice work here Tom. Six months is a long time to not be shooting. I am sure the timing was off a tad. None the less good stuff. Feel good.

Thanks, Jules. I happened to see your message at half time and did try those setting. In the shots I tried, I didn't see much difference. I have begun using 3.2 or 3.5 to gain just a bit more sharpness and DOF. I do try to keep ISO under 8000, but don't get real excited by it. As you said, the camera can definitely handle it! I am alway open to suggestions that could improve my photography.


Anytime Ron. It's good to get everyone's opinion and suggestions. I always welcome it.

Great action captures Jules.

Don


Thank you Don. Appreciate it. I will be shooting softball Tuesday and Thursday baseball.
Playoffs coming up in a month. On the 18th of April I will shoot (a client wants me there to shoot her son) at The Ballpark a new stadium for Double A ball. (I think).

More of your great work Jules. Did you have to have the ISO that high to get your 1/3200 shutter speed even with a bright sunny day?

Don


Hi Don:
I stand corrected. On many of the shots my iso is at 2000, 2500, etc. 1/3200 at 6.3 is this shot.
I ran the photos with high iso through Topaz Denoise to soften the iso. Your to smart for me. Your so right though.
The second shot is 1/3200 at 6.3 iso is 900.
