I brag a bunch about the inner city baseball league Linda and I were volunteers from the 2nd meeting planning a league. Our mission was to have this family and area-oriented and to make it as cheap as possible for kids to play. We started meetings 11 years ago and our first rules were it was...

Custom DxO Filmpack 7 preset based on Kodak T-Max 3200 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

DxO Filmpack 7 custom preset based off of Kodak T-Max 3200. Had a bit of an issue with access to cage-side this year, so had to shoot from the general admission section and a long lens. Not quite what I had hoped for but as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! 1 2 3...

Yes, it is what you think it is. Points scored by clean hits the the head and torso. 1 - kids division 2 3 4 5 - adults division 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

Originating in Russia, this sport's rules are relatively simple. Pull the stick from your opponents hand, pull them over to your side of the board, pull the opponent so that both feet come off the board. Created a custom preset in DxO Filmpack 7 starting off with Kodak T-Max 3200 as the base...

Hi, I would like to introduce myself briefly: I come from Austria and my great passions are motorsport and photography. That's why I attend various motorsport events every year as often as I can, for example the Members Meeting and the Festival of Speed in Goodwood, races in the GT Open Series...

Good Morning, A few shots of my schools' team for this season, with a mix of new freshmen and returning seniors. Trying out some new lenses purchased this year in the marginal lighting that their private training facility needs to update...:rolleyes: Regards, Edd

My middle grandgirl is in the 7th grade, 13 YO, and almost 6' tall. She is number 15 and a fierce competitor. My son, her dad, is 6'5", while I'm 6'. They live a couple of hours away so I have to pick and choose games to see. A few shots from last night.

I decided to get off my rear and go to the basketball game at the school Linda and I shot football. They were not good in basketball and got blown out by perennial power Heights. I was good to see my football boys cheering the team on. It did me good to get out and see and talk to my old...

Hi everyone, just found this firmware download available on Sigma website. V.1.2 Firmware For the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sport - L Mount. 16/11/2023 In combination with Panasonic LUMIX S5M2 and LUMIX S5M2X, the AF tracking performance when selecting the AFC focus mode has been...

I know the HS season is wrapping up but I'm sure we have a few VB shooters here with something to show. FWIW I tend to spend the first game next to the scorer's table shooting mostly the back row, the second on the other side (again shooting mostly the back row) and the third shooting through...

Having searched as best I can, I cannot see a thread assigned to the premier game of the commonwealth. So as the season starts this weekend, I'll start with a post.

Last night, I went to watch a good friend race in the Ellensburg Cowboy Cross. I took the camera, with the intention of experimenting with motion blur, figuring out how to photograph high speed motion in low light and bright stadium light situations. I'm learning as I go, and after taking more...

Good Afternoon, My high school team during a "flying warm-up" just for the photographer; even the coach was impressed...:) Regards, Edd

Friday nights during the fall have meant football. Even without my shooting partner, my wife, I went and did the best I could. I hope she would be proud of my effort. She always was a better photographer!

On Monday, my sweet wife Linda Gregory was on the field as always photographing "her boys" at Northwest High School in their football actions as she has done for the past 9 years. She was hit trying to get out of the way by two football players in full gear and she was knocked to the ground and...

Under the Sports header I looked for a thread about Golf. I found just about every sport, including Dog Surfing, but no Golf. So, here's some golf. This set is actually my first foray into golf documentary and was achieved between bites of a Panko encrusted Whitefish sandwich with fries while I...

I stopped by my favorite corner at the Tour of Somerville bicycle race (the oldest bicycle race in the country, I beleive). I've taken some good photos from this corner, like this one several years ago. This time, I shot more video and captured this photographer leaning in a little close...

Good Morning, Warning: Image heavy...:) My school has very competitive boys and girls lacrosse teams again this season. This matchup ended up being a 10 to 5 win over their opponents, with a couple of highlights of note. One of my students (senior captain) scored her 200th career goal during...

Last London Marathon for Mo Farah, London 2023. Sony A7iv/35mm f/1.8 lens

11 years ago, my wife and I answered a call to help form an inner-city baseball league that would be affordable, would make the kids feel proud of themselves, and furnish the best equipment, coaches, umpires, and facilities. We walked the inner city area and were lucky to sign up 100 that first...

Ay Hollywood Casino Event Center in Columbus, Ohio. Let no one tell you that the Nikon Z6 or Z fc are incapable of capturing sports. Are they the optimal cameras? No, but are capable. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 More to come!

Good Evening, The school I teach at had a game against the high school I graduated from 53 years ago. A complete redo of the facility had been done at some point along with updated banners hanging from above, but still showing my teams State Championship from that far away time...:) By the end...

Good Evening, This marked the end of the season for my school team; sad to see it end. Several of the members will be continuing on college teams in the fall in Division II and III. I hope that the entering freshman can help to fill the gap that each of these young women create by moving on to...

Good Evening, Another Sunday afternoon in one of the local private venues that hosted local high school teams from RI. Got to use my new (to me) 1DX Mark II along with the R7; it was a great combo to cover the four stations along with each schools team rotations. Regards, Edd

Good Evening, Some photos from a combined meet among seven high schools. I got to use the Canon R7 again with the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 and the Canon 7D Mark II with my now fixed EF 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. My image processing station was chugging all night on the original RAW files, a bit over 4000...

Good Morning, The school I teach at hosted a tri-meet that lasted over three hours; they ended up beating the rival schools by at least 45 points during the course of the matches. There are high hopes of winning another state title this year...:). I used my new Canon R7 with the Sigma 50-100mm...

We photograph one of the top-ranked football teams in the highest division in our State. They are two games away from returning to the State Championship game for the 4th time in 5 years. We do not have kids in this school, just kind of adopted this school as our own and have made friends with...

7 year-old Grandson had his first tournament today. Took 1st in Sparring and 3rd in Forms for his age group/belt level. I have over 500 to go through, here are a couple of quick samples. Lens is Minolta Maxxum 80-200/2.8 HS G. DSC08647 by telecast, on Flickr He brought his game face...

My wife and I photograph a local High School football team and have for the past 8 years. This team is a powerhouse in our State and has gone to the championship game 3 out of the past 5 years. It has produced Breece Hall who is leading the New York Jets in rushing as a rookie, a young man who...

1 - the stalking 2 - the chase 3 4 - the escape 5 - and my favorite - a side by side!

Went to a dog surfing competition in Del Mar, CA for the first time since the pandemic started. Probably one of the most fun sporting events you can attend in person. (In what other sports are the competitors happy to hand together and sniff each other?). The combined human / dog teams are also...

Good Evening, A former student of mine, now at Union College (NY) majoring in Biomedical Engineering, played a match against Lasell College (Newton, MA). Using one of my Canon 7D's with over 340,000 clicks along with a Canon 1D Mark IV, I managed to take about 2400 photos over the 90 minutes of...

As our “sports and action” section is a little light, and I have a bunch of these BMX style shots, I figured I’d start a thread -

Today there was a SUP & Run contest called "Kåsjön SupRun". First paddling to the other side (~2.5km) then run around the lake, jump onboard and paddle back to start. Very cool! I was there to check it out. Also brought my own SUP and took a trip to the other side to get footage from there also...

Good Evening, I went to Conimicut Point Beach Park in Warwick, Rhode Island to watch a young friend of mine show his talents/skills in some pretty strong winds. The Canon R7 and EF 100-400mm L worked very well together; great subject tracking with very few misfocused shots. Regards, Edd

Good Morning, It was a windy dust-bowl in Rhode Island; my high school team won (7-1) and are destined for the playoffs. All taken with MFT for this game, the Canon FF gear stayed in the Pelican case...:). Player #10 hit her 30th high school career home run, over the fence...and then some...

Good Morning, This was the first match-up since COVID-19 between these same-city rivals. The game went 7 innings with the win going to my home team (4 of my students playing) with a 11-5 hard-fought game. Regards, Edd

Last night was another successful start of a season for a bunch of inner-city boys and girls. It is our 8th Season and we have grown from 2 barely acceptable baseball fields to those two being renovated and a brand new turf field stadium with lights and a scoreboard for the little players. In...

HEMA and Fencing were both represented. Tested out the capability of the Fuji XT4 with some primes in tandem with the Nikon Z6 and Tamron 70-200 G2. Full album over here: Ascalon Sword Festival 2022 Thought they all did well. Please enjoy! HEMA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus Ohio was back to full swing in 2022. Took a year off in 2021 due to COVID. Wife and I are still not 100% ready to dip back into the deep end of massive events, so our exposure was limited to hitting the media room for our credentials and going to a local...

As a recent refugee from another forum I've been looking for Motorsports posts in Cameraderie as I find it inspiring to see what others are doing. Whilst there have been occasional posts relating to specific events over the years there doesn't appear to one post which collects them together. So...

Good Evening, This was Senior night for our Girls Gymnastic Team; lighting was dismal at best, but I will end up using DxO Deep prime to clean up the keepers from this 4-way meet (over 4000 photos taken during the 2-1/2 hours). Regards, Edd

Last night, my wife and I traveled 160 miles to watch my Kansas University play Texas Tech in basketball. KU is #7 in the nation and TT was 13. Our seats were in the nose bleed section of the Fieldhouse but it did not matter. I was among the 16. 299 other fans screaming for the Jayhawks. KU...
