Getting decent photos under floodlights

Post by admin »

So what is the key to getting good sharp photos under floodlights?

Talking to Thunders he has had problems under floodlights. Is the answer simply to get a very fast lens? Is that the solution?

i have taken some... and to me the key is to get more photos of the players when not moving at full speed... less action shots... like when they are sizing up a free kick or about to take a throw in...

also panning can work... and also using the blurring to give the photo a sense of motion...

just need more of a variety of shots to mix things up a bit...

hopefully when i get the 2.8 lens i can get some better night shots...

I tend to get a lot of this when i'm using my camera phone - any suggestions?
