p.1 #1 · my very first HS football game


A friend's son is the Drum Major at the local High School... they wanted some halftime pictures, so I figured I'd give "Friday Night Lights" a shot. I usually just shoot middle school youth league.

Night game, so I tried flash football for the first time... 550EX on a 1D Mark II. It was tough. The strobed lighting turned out better than I thought it would. But I was in the stands... not on the sideline... too far away. I didn't crop any of those yet.

After the first quarter, I gave up on my learning experience with the flash and I tried high ISO and 200/2.8L on a Rebel T1i that's been sitting around for a while.

These are all from the Canon T1i (Rebel 500D) at ISO 3200, 6400, and 12800 (no NR!)...

I have to say I really was impressed with Noiseware! I think it really cleaned up the photos well!

Jeez. Where was this game played? At the new Cowboys stadium? Seems like there was tons of light there.

Aside from some missed focus here and there, the exposure and color balance are dead on. Very well done, indeed. Very impressive given the equipment used.

I thought he said there was NO noise reduction on them?

The first post is with no NR.

The second post has the Noiseware versions.

ISO 12,800, 1/500 at 2.8. Yep. That there is a like being on the beach in Hawaii at noon.

Are you serious

They have four light posts.

ISO 12800, 1/500 at 2.8 would be equivalent to
ISO 6400, 1/250 at 2.8
ISO 3200, 1/125 at 2.8
ISO 1600, 1/60 at 2.8

I would hope the Cowboys new stadium provides better than 1/60" ISO1600 at f/2.8

Thanks guys.

I try to keep my shots cropped to a 1.50:1 or a 4x6 aspect ratio... most people order 4x6 prints. So I usually end up with one side being a little loose on the crop, but IMHO that's better than someone receiving a print with a missing head.

You did a great job. I would consider some cropping but man you nailed it with that 500D. Impressive effort and the high ISO is just super. I had a chance to shot a few with a 7D (pre production) last week and man is that going to be a machine. Everything people think they know about APS-C sensor can go in the trasher, the rules have changed.

These are some really nice shots. I think after running thru noiseware they are really good.
I really like 2,3, 5 and 8...
Very well done, under very difficult lighting conditions..

Thanks Jeff.

I almost deleted #3 because it seemed a little soft (as is #11), but I liked the way our Defense was closing in on the ball carrier.

Same with photo #5... Defense #75 looks like a train roaring into town. Sometimes missed focus on the ball carrier can be salvaged as stock shots of the Defense.

It's a football "field", not a putting green.

"For the best traffic tolerance, mow cool season grasses at two to three inches and warm season grasses at one to two inches."

I've seen soccer fields with much taller grass... that really affects a ball.

Impressive quality for such high ISO. Not bad for your first try.
