A friendly reminder as fall football season is starting that things happen quickly on the sideline. If you are near the action, the ONLY time to review photos or make major changes to camera setup is during timeouts OR when you step away from the ac...
I love the rare opportunity to shoot high school football in daylight! These three were captured with a Canon 1DX III body equipped with an EF 200-400 f4 with integrated selectable 1.4X extender. I love the versatility of this lens and it is wonder...

Volleyball is a very difficult sport to shoot with the very fast movement and if this is a high school, then the lighting probably isn't great. Preferred minimum shutter speed is 1/1,000 to freeze action but depending upon the lens and lighting you ...
The EF 70-200 f2.8 is one of the lenses Canon knew would be used wide open because it is one of their premier sports lens designs. With the proper technique and exposure setup, it should provide very nice images wide open. This heavily cropped seque...
I agree with Newton that the exposure settings chosen weren't appropriate for the illumination level (and the lack of subject motion). 1/500 shutter speed will freeze moderately fast action, I shoot at 1/1,000 for night field sports like football an...
