Hello,
If you were asked to shoot a team photograph a team of soccer, volleyball, rugby, basketball ... whatever .. players - outside / inside, what settings would you use in terms of 'F' number? Ideally, I would think that we want an out of focus background so f/22 is out of the question but equally, we want front row, middle row and back row players IN focuse so f/1.8 is no use.
Any advice on what aperture to use and where to focus on the assumption that ISO and speed could be set to accommodate it?
Assume say, 3m or so in front of the group - not on top of them but not shooting with a 400mm lens and half a mile away!
Thank you,
Alan

then shove it into AV focus on the second or third row centre player and give it an iso that lets you have a fast ish shutter and away you go
