I've always wanted to see some MMA boxing pics on here. its a shame you couldn't get over the fence and the lighting was poor. but good spot none the less.
hate em,
Fence ruins it, white balance is off and its under exposed. keep trying.
you don't really have to say you hate them snyder...Kind of rude, actually.
man this is weird... i just saw your racing photos, and I do racing in the area... now cage fight photos??? I do cage fight photos in the area. I've done them at Memorial Hall in Joplin, Elite Cage Fights in Springfield (never again due to problems with management there), Fist City Cage Fighting, etc. My work is on www.CageFightPics.com.
If you get another chance to do this...put that lens right up to the fence (no hood). Your 18-55 will do just fine, believe it or not. Use a large aperture to blur out the fence a little. A hot-shoe flash will do good. Use your left hand to make a barrier between the flash and the fence near the lens, so that the flash doesn't light up the blurred out fence.
In the following picture, in Joplin, I did just that... up close to the fence, and my hand shielding the fence from the hot-shoe, so that the fence didn't appear any brighter and take away from the fighters. The fighters really like buying pictures where the fence is framing them.
Where do you shoot in Springfield? At Floyd's?
Thanks for the tips Keith. I will have to try that next time...I just hate making it to obvious that I'm trying to get photos when I'm there as medical.
The photos in this post were from Branson. funny you got the same fighter as in my first shot.
Don't blame you about Floyd's, he seems to be pissing a bunch of people off lately.
I work for EMSS, for lots of events throughout the state, look for us next time you get a chance, we will be in the yellow "safety crew" shirts.
