As the title hints, the high school football season has just kicked off in my area, and I decided that instead of just shooting the first quarter, and quitting once the light was gone, that I'd try using flash to see what would happen.
So I threw my sb-600 on an L bracket, and used a hose clamp to secure it onto my monopod about 2 feet under my camera. Shot with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 70-200, at F2.8, 1/250th, iso 800. No major exposure corrections were made in post, just minor tweaks. Whaddya think? Using this gear (shot natural light for the first quarter) I only managed to pull out 21/85 keepers from this game. Last year it was somewhere around 40, but then again, my standards have gone up in the last year.
1.)
2.)
3.)
Those are really the only good ones I got using flash. Just for fun, here are a few from before the field turned into a black hole:
4.)
5.)
6.)
This was literally RIGHT in front of me. Wish I would have been able to go wider. But I don't think the timing was bad, since I don't motor drive. There's just no point with a D80 lol.
Can't wait to get my D7k in about a month. It'll make life a bit easier for stuff like this!
