Yeh. The first lighting is obviously superior at showing form. It follows the the norm that when lighting people the side facing the camera should be the side in shade.
I've never consciously thought about it but that makes total sense. Otherwise what's the point of the shadows if you can't see them!

Maybe try high for a few shots. See if there is a difference in IQ
I will, thanks!

Thanks Jules, those are very similar to what I've got set except the NR is set at standard rather than high.

Great work sir Thurber. Nice and tight. What was the setting you used? I am shooting games at 7200 iso to 8000 not good for image quality.
Thanks Jules! The varsity game (1st 6 pics) started in the late afternoon but most of it was under the lights. The first pic was an early one and the ISO was only 1250, the later ones were generally around 5-6000 but a few were 10,000. Everything posted was shot with a Canon R6, 400mm f/2.8 at 2.8, shutter speeds around 1/1600th before sunset, 1/1000th after.
I learned from watching videos and reading that modern cameras noise reduction is really, really good and that by fine tuning in-camera settings the resulting JPGs can come out looking really good, and need very little post-production work, so that's what I've been doing in lower light environments like these. I shot the JV game with both RAW+JPG and messed with the RAW files to compare them to the JPGs and there wasn't much difference, other than time to the end product, so I shot only JPG for the night game. I have LR/PS and Topaz DeNoise/Sharpen, but there is NO additional noise reduction on those night shots other than what the camera applied!

First effort? Wonderful. I agree with Tom that you should be posting frequently with shots like these.
#4 is a nice “Heisman” moment

I was finally able to shoot some football this week, one JV game and one varsity. I have the luxury of being in an area with many 6A schools close to me, and have access to tons of games and many other sports. With advice from Jules here and some Facebook groups and YouTube videos, I'm happy with what I got, especially for the first time.

I have always wondered what the rectangular hole in the top of this style of stool is doing there, but I wanted to add that the stool is nicely lighted, just one thing, the stool is too square on to the camera, a better orientation would improve the visual interest quite a lot as well the over all composition.
I assume that hole in the stool is to make it easy to pick up with one hand...

Checking the used prices online quickly that seems to be a good value.

Can an RF Lens be attached with an adapter to an a Canon that uses EF?
No, it only works the other way around...an EF lens can be adapted to an RF camera

I felt the same about browsing the 2.3 million photos on Pixabay to see what you might be referring to.

Can you lead us to some examples?

Great shots, and the blue fabric goes well with the water theme.
I was somewhat taken aback by the first image with red fabric as I thought it was blood. Stick with blue.

No worries John, no models were harmed in the making of these photos :)
