Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Nice work.

I can appreciate how hard it is to shoot under lighting like that from my own experience with handball.

While it's tempting to stop the lens down a bit and lower the ISO, it has brought out subject movement in #3, which for me is the best shot in terms of framing, action and facial expression. It was shot at 1/200 at f2.5, with the extra ISO and aperture it might have eliminated subject movement.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

You're pressing the button at the right time and your exposures are spot on. Good action shots! Only comment I would make is to use a larger f-stop to throw that background out of focus a tad more.

Thanks rooboy.

I was trying to keep the noise as low as possible, the trade off was a little motion. I think next time I will boost the iso to 1600, or open up the lens more.

Thanks Matt,

I will keep that in mind for next time, though I was thinking I would try a slightly longer lens, maybe I could borrow an 85 1.4 or 1.8 :lol:
