p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The snot beat out of him - Boxing


You've heard the expression "I'll beat the snot out of you". Well it really happens. Thankfully none of it got on me. I absolutely love shooting boxing. By the end of the night of leaning over the ring curtain my back doesn't always agree though. I have some MMA coming up which will be my first.

Wicked shot!!! Any chance you would share your settings? I'm shooting a bit of MMA/Kickboxing and would love to see what you're doing setting wise so I can get better as well.

MMA is a blast to shoot. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you get cageside!

Because it's a whole lot of fun, man....the rush, the intensity, the competition, breaking limits of your mental and physical endurance you previously thought possible.
Then coming out with your hand raised in victory makes it that much sweeter.

I know it's not for everyone, but my goodness is it fun!

I guess we all have different things that get us going...to each their own!

Thanks Matt. I used a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 24-70 f/2.8. Settings were at ISO 6400 1/1000 @ f/4. I was probably around 60-70mm for this shot. For the MMA I'm thinking I'm going to have to use MF to shoot through the cage. I have a few older MF prime Nikon lenses in my bag in that range. I'll have some fun in the earlier fights and see what works best. That 24-70 and D810 weighs a ton so any change I can use to save weight and still get good results I'll take it.

Nice, man the light you have there is stellar! I have to bump my ISO up way higher then that to keep my shutter speeds at 1/1000th at 2.8. Thanks for the info, wbunnell!

Do you know how far away from the cage you'll be sitting? If you're able to get right up on the cage, your AF will have no troubles focusing through the fence. Otherwise, yeah, MF might be the way to go.
