Does anyone have any tips for indoor sports photography? (Hockey)?
I have a Nikon D80 digital SLR with a 200mm F2.8 lens- Nikkor 80. Any tips for camera settings and how to get some good photos of hockey indoors?
Well let's look at the old FotoSharp (fotosharp.com) "Day and night the exhibition" Guide to see what it suggests. Using 125 f2.8 ISO 1600 circus: 8 indoor sports # On the scene – lighting include: Using ISO 3200 f2.8 @ 1 / 500 F4 @ 1 / 250 f5.6 @ 1 / @ 1 / 250 f4 @ 1 / 125 f5.6 @ 1 / 60 Use ISO 800 f2 8 @ 1 / 125 f4 @ 1 / 60 f5.6 to 1 / 30 The question now is: Is your goal 2.8 A "permanent opening" of 80 mm to 200 mm or there is a second f-stop associated with the length of 200mm? If so, he will be guided by the choice of ISO. If it is a 2.8 of 80-200mm then you should be able to do quite well in ISO 1600. Just turn the noise reduction and have at it. Consider your actual conditions can vary so I suggest you shoot in shutter priority and see about camera selects aperture. Of course, you can always just go to ISO 3200.
