Calling all sports professionals out there -- which would you recommend? I love my 70-200 f/2.8, which has been perfect at swim shoots, without flash. I'll...
I would just stick with the 70-200 2.8, you really don't need anything else for wrestling and basketball. I've always been able to use flash for those sports...
For basketball I think a 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8 are great lenses to have. Some gyms will have such terrible lighting that you might need to have a larger...
I agree... I use a 70-200mm 2.8 with a 580 flash and a quantum battery pack, I get flashes on all 4 frames per second with this setup! ... From: rebeccapadula ...
Hmm, think I need a battery pack. Tell me about it please. I hate missing some of my shots due to no flash on continuous shooting. Sherri Southampton Village...
... You can go with a quantum battery pack for $100's of dollars, or you could make your own :) I've got (4) 7amp battery packs that I use for indoor sports....
I use 135 f2 for almost all of my high school sports available light- it rocks! other suggestions are good too - 135 with digi factor is about what 200 mm? it...
85mm 1.8 is AWESOME for wrestling and basketball. Sure you can't zoom, but you pick up 2 stops and you just have to learn where to position yourself. Great for...
I have the battery grip on my camera with two batteries in it. I never run out but how does the other battery pack give you more flash with continuous...
The battery grip with two batteries for your 20D is only powering your camera body & autofocus lens. A Canon flash such as the 580 uses four AA batteries for...
Hello all. Ok, I am going to need some advice/help. I was at a little league banquet and had samples of the kids using artisit action. Great photos, and the...
I shoot varsity sports for a local high school. Once I am done with a game I go through the photos using adobe bridge, I rate them one star for the ones I...
How are the parents previewing your pictures/proofs? I use Exposure Manager, have each game/event as a separate gallery, and place samples of the artistic...
Is this the first time this season you've offered your posters to people? Maybe the reason they aren't buying is because the season is now over. I wonder if...
I usually shoot the photos one week and bring contact sheets with the proofs the next week to sell. With the posters I have personally have found that if I...
IF you are selling to kids - keep your prices down. I just completed an order for 5 posters to ONE family - one of each kid and one of all 4 kids and the...
I agree with Kelley regarding your prices. One thing I suggest you might do is offer an additional smaller print of the same poster at an additional cost. For...
Hi Sherri, When I create an AA poster in the format of a 12x18 size, I will usually print a 16x24 print and offer a 8x12 print. It is the same format and it...
What size poster do you (as in everyone in our group) sell most often, and who does your printing on that? I like the idea of the 16x24 and 8x12 combo. That's...
I can attest that this works well. I do the same. Only one problem I have run into, with the "non standard" sizes - it is difficult when they opt for me to...
We recommend RediMat for mats. To fit 8" x 12" size the prices start @ $2.88 each and if you buy in bulk the cost goes way down. They fit in an easy to find...
Thanks Chris! I know you told me before, but I got caught up in baseball and forgot to go get them, where can I find the bowling templates. I still have my...
This may be a dumb question, but an editor of a paper I shoot for is asking to size the pictures at 10inches and 200dpi. I didn't want to ask him what 10"...
Can anyone share their secrets to posing large groups of people and athletes? We saw a photo of a high school football team that looked really good - it ...
