Second game, second try at high school football

EDL · Sep 7, 2013

So i remembered to set my AF point to the center point this time. Definitely worked out better, lots more shots that were in focus this time, however something was weird with the lighting this time. By time it got dark and lights were full on, even at 3200 ISO I was only getting around 1/60 to 1/100 shutter. I went ahead and bumped it to 6400 ISO and was running 1/250 to 1/320. Kinda strange, same field, same lights and lst week at 3200 ISO I was pretty steady at 1/250. Maybe the lights weren't as bright, it did seem a little dimmer or something.

Any way, here's what I got this time around:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Adding a second post with more shots so as not to load this one up too much.

Your day games will be much different. That's weird same stadium but went from 3200-6400. Like the last shot, if you do a lot at night, I suggest downloading topaz noise reduction app. It works well.

I've had this happen in swimming pools quite often, as the lights get older the changes become more obvious and the light starts to drop off by a full stop or more.
