Beach Volleyball Tournament - Day 2

Here is some photography stuff :D I mentioned in the Day 1 that i only took 50mm lens and was not sure how good of a decision that was. Well on day 2 i only took the 85mm. The amount of blurry photos with missed focus was pretty big :D

The 85mm looks pretty great when you hit the focus. But it is quite thigh frame and hard to move from one player to another and land the focus right. I am still not sure how pros photograph this, maybe they just pick a player for that play and follow him with hope the ball will get to him :)

One thing i also metioned, they added 2 more lights. Great for playing. But looks like there is a reason why photography lights are so expensive :)

These 2 photos are not edited, just exported RAW photos, taken with less than a second between them. Flicker looks quiet obvious :D

There is another thing that happens with loosing light. You need more light to hit a sensor to make a photo. And when you go to ISO 5000 and Aperture 1.8 the only option is to slow down the shutter speed. Moving subjects don't like low shutter speed :)

So there is only one thing to do. Turn it to Black and White and call it ART :D
