Hi all,
Been shooting a lot of the Angels games lately, with 99% of them being a 3pm kick-off.
Went over to Longmead on Tuesday evening to photograph the game.
However, with it being a floodlit evening kick-off, I really couldn't get a low-ish ISO so was wondering if you guys had any tips that you would kindly share please?
I use a Nikon D500 with a Tamron 70-200 2.8 VC handheld.
I was setting, in manual mode, the SS to 1/500 or 1/640 with auto-iso turned on and using apertures between 2.8 and 3.5. The ISO was really high though which resulted in a lot of noise.
I understand that in order to keep my SS at what was needed to freeze the action, I needed to use a high-ISO at that time of the evening.
Most of it I shot at 2.8 with matrix metering.
The D500 is a beast for focusing but I did have a D810 before this body so was probably spoilt for low-light stuff!
I've posted a few examples, whilst not being good shots, you can get an idea of what they came out like.
They've been PP'd in LR with +50 sharpening and around +36 NR.
1. 1/500 f2.8 ISO 9000
2. 1/500 f2.8 ISO 7200
3. 1/640 f3.5 ISO 14400
4. 1/640 f3.2 ISO 12800
5. 1/640 f3.5 ISO 14400
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
