I got to shoot MacArthur and Danville in a game Friday night. Both teams were undefeated coming into the game…
The first half was a pretty tight game, tied 7-7 at halftime. MacArthur wore Danville’s defense out in the second half, and pulled out a 35-7 win making them 6-0 on the year and in sole posession of first place in their conference.
The light was awful, but I made do with what I had.
Here are a few photos from the night…
The clouds over the field before teh game looked pretty neat. I should have worked it more, but I was trying to figure out the lighting situation.
The field was dark… for my photo friends it was 1/160 - f/2.8 @ ISO 6400… not ideal. I ended up taping two 580EXII flashes to the end of my lens set as slaves and firing them with the ST-E2 transmitter. It looked pretty ghetto, but the results looked decent. I was able to crank it up to 1/400 - f/2.8 @ ISO6400 and mostly avoid the blasted out flash look that I hate.
I asked Adam to take a photo of my sweet ghetto-flash. Pure class…
- First feels so good: MacArthur ‘D’ leads way to Big 12 lead (Herald & Review)
what were those flashes set at? it might be cool to experiment with different settings on the two different flashes.
Both were set at 1/2 power zoomed out all the way… just enough to fill in some dark areas and not have that deer in the headlights look.
