Senior Gomez is getting worked!

Good action in most of these. Some are a bit soft.

I am new to photography, this was my only 2nd time shooting a fight, what do you mean by "SOFT"????? How can I improve on the softness???? Thanks

They are not in focus, what focus set up did you use and how many focus points, what lens ?

Yes, some are 'soft'....meaning that they are blurry, not sharp.

In some cases, it could be missed focus or that you just didn't have enough Depth of Field (DOF). Blur can also be a result of movement, either the camera or the subject, this is a result of the shutter speed.

I only see a bit of motion blur, and mostly on the hands, which is understandable in situations like this, but I'd think that sharp is better than blurry.

I really like #8, but I agree that they are all a bit soft.... it's possible that this is a result of glare from the lights? Were you using a hood?

I was using manual selection focus, top right corner. And I was using Tamron AF 17-50mm 1:2.8 (IF) to take all the pictures.

The light were very low in the arena, I was using a hood as well.

So how do I fix this problem????? I was shooting in 2500 ISO, do I go even higher????

 

[pbelarge]

You may try to increase you shutter speed, it may be possible. The lighting will dictate that. Experiment with your camera a little next time between the different rounds. The action and crop of your shots looks real good.

The boxer in blue looks like he took some tough shots...:er:

Next time try just using the center focus only it will focus faster and more consistant

I did try that one time, but the problem that I was running into was that the camera was focusing on the back of the ring and not the fighters, and the pictures were coming out really bad.

The lens you are using may not be a good choice for fast moving sport

 

[SnapLocally]

Well obx, the first thing I'd do...

Oh, wait- you said I was an asshole because I wouldn't answer your all your questions as I run a Combat Sports Photography School and it wouldn't be fair to my paying students.

Never mind, these are great.
