Re: Indoor Sports (HS and below) ---> Flash Photography Distracting?


Most indoor venues aren't set up with real estate to set up lights and many prohibit it anyways, especially if you are not some large media outlet. Good settings and good noise reduction post processing gets one very far with interior sports. I have written up posts on the past going through the settings and filters to get the results I do. I used to sell Photoshop filters for this as well.

All my inside sports shots are minimally at ISO 6400, and many times at 25600 or more. I also shoot small bursts of 5-8 shots at a time and shoot action all over the court. I have a hard enough time getting agreements to put secondary cameras behind backboards or other areas, so I don't even try to talk strobes or flash. And that was while I was with the Pacers organization, it didn't help as the venues were owned by other parties which had their own liabilities to worry about.

16000 with 5d4 just one of thousands...
