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.

Once an ASSHOLE always an ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!! I sure don't need your help or your advice!!!!!!!!! There are plenty of other members here who don't walk around with a stick up their ass like you do, and who are willing to give advice cause they are decent human beings. So go teach your little combat school and leave all of us alone. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's keep things in perspective- you came to me looking for a hand out and not the other way around. In my estimation that would make you an asshole- because you couldn't respect my decision to not to give my trade away, badmouthing me in the process- and a mooch.

Good equipment helps. Best is a Nikon D3s, D3 or D700 body. Lens: 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 vr ll 2.8.

Great Thanks, now I already have a CAnon 50D that I am shooting with. What kind of lens should I go with?

If you don't want to give your trade away then don't even come to this website. Please don't wast your pressures time and efforts on C&C on the forum, cause assholes like you might start asking people for money to do so. Just stay away!!!!!!!!!!!! And to be honest with you I would expect your pictures to be a lot better than what they are since you have so much knowledge and ****. This is only my third boxing event and my pictures are not much worst looking then yours.

As already covered, they are soft, and maybe next time, just for fun sakes post a few of them. So many is not going to teach you any more than a few.

You have the concept down, once you learn more about your focus and DOF, you will be fine.

At first I thought the softness was due to focus, but after adjusting sharpness in PS, I think it may be due to noise reduction. I've been there too where you have to balance shutter speed with lighting conditions and just can't get away from high ISO.

You have some great action shots, although the guy in blue looks like he is there to get his butt kicked. He looks physically soft compared to his opponent. In one of your shots you can see a bit of tummy overhanging his shorts. The other guy is so lean and fit. I love the body blow pic.

Please don't wast your pressures time

I hate to think what you do in your pants when things don't go your way.

And how you honestly feel about my work:

The boxing pictures that you took are amazing <snip>

Actually the guy in the blue has a record of 17-2 (15 KO) He was a tough cookie.

14 and 16 are great shots, I really like them.

These are really well composed shots at a perfect focal length but the softness/blur took the edge off them.
Fast lens + body that can handle low light=$$$$$
The 50mm prime f/1.8 is a budget but good quality bit of glass that will allow 2.8 shots at a low price and combine that with some pro noise reduction software such as noise ninja or Imagenomic (my preferred) means you can shoot your current body at higer ISO settings. This option won't be as good as a D3s with some high end glass but will give you the most bang for your buck and current set up.

Grab a nifty fifty 50 1/8 prime and you should have a better chance. The shots are great don't listen to snap just ignore him. The best ways to learn photography is to just do it and take the criticism you get and build off of it, don't let self absorbed photographers get you down. You'll learn a lot more by taking in what other say and practice and then you can come back and teach some of us a thing or two, even the old timers.
