The "End" of football season

Our Jr. Varsity and Freshmen teams had their last game this last Thursday. Since my son wasn't playing this last game I decided to attend and shoot the freshmen's last game against Compton. Prior to this game Compton was 8-1 while our freshmen team were 9-0. This freshmen team has played very good this season and this game was no different with them winning 35-0, giving them the Moore League Champs.

On a side-note our Jr. Varsity team also won 35-26, giving them a record this season of 9-1. Our only lost being against Poly.

Due to the time change and a very dark overcast sky I really had to push my ISO up. I started the game shooting at ISO 800 and ended with it being at 1600. My camera was set on aperture priority at f/2.8. I was able to keep my shutter at 1/2000 and above until the last quarter when it started slowing down fast. I ended the game shooting on manual mode at f/2.8 and 1/640.

When shooting games in these conditions don't be afraid to increase your ISO to give you a decent shutter speed. As long as you have a decent noise reduction program then you shouldn't have any problems. I currently use Noiseware and am very happy with it.
