Lacrosse under the lights

Last night I photographed one of my granddaughter's Lacrosse matches. This is a Fall 7 on 7 league which is action packed. The field lighting is terrible. I like it much better in the Spring when they play their regular league matches on the High School football field. Most games are in the daylight and if they do have a night game it is very well lit.
The first photo was taken during the day last spring and shot using a Nikon D5 with 500mm pf lens, 1/1600 sec, ISO 320, F5.6. Not a lot of post processing, mainly cropping.
The second photo was taken last night with a Nikon Z9 and 70-200mm S lens, 1/1000 sec, ISO 25,600, F2.8. Post processing included Lightroom Classic and Topaz Photo AI. I have always had to slow the shutter down to shoot in these conditions which presents a set of problems that are almost impossible to correct.
I also included a third photo which is unedited from last night and is one frame before the second photo. Isn't it amazing what can be done to capture these moments in history, in poor conditions, and have them still presentable.

Good work, Steve! BTW Sadi will have more functioning brain cells if she keeps to that helmet.

Great action shots Steve. My grandaughters are just starting lacrosse. Their mom played for UC Davis and was most valuable defensive player in the western states in 1994.

Thanks for your comments. What a great family tradition to play women's lacrosse. I can't imagine how proud you would be with a daughter that was so good at defense. So far, my granddaughters have played varsity high school and they are defensive players also.
