College Soccer: University of Virginia Vs Duke

BoostedHoo · Sep 12, 2009

Men's soccer held last night. the game ended in double over time with Duke scoring at the beginning of second over time. UVA pounded Duke all night long and they just got hit when they were least expecting it... :grumpy:

All shot with D90 with 70-200mm 2.8 at ISO 3200... very unhappy about the noise but was unavoidable...
Critiques are welcom as always

Doesn't look like you white balanced correctly...when you're shooting at night, it's very important that you pay attention...These seem very warm...the grass doesn't look Green, it looks do be more yellow-ish...

Since I can never remember what the white balancing modes are called, you basically want to just cycle through all of them until you find an image with colors that seem somewhat correct...You also want to shoot RAW, so you have more data to work with when you get them on to the computer...

thanks for your comment. I did shoot raw and messed with the WB. i went by the whites in the uniforms for the WB and those seem correct. I don't know what to do about the grass though. If i balance the green too then the entire pic have bluish tint to them...
-----------edit----------
found a value that fits well. i will reupload later

i was shooting at least 500. often 640. the autofocus on d90 was letting me down though. next time I'm gonna need to bust out the D300 :sexywink:
