One of the significant benefits of higher-end FF shooting is the combination of excellent predictive AF and longer focal length glass. I began shooting girls LAX (high school club) last month for the first time. I've only been able to shoot the home games. It took me a couple of matches to begin to figure out the rhythm and flow of the sport (I still don't get the penalties). Fortunately, the games are played during the golden hour, though the field lighting is lousy (this is a small island community), and once it gets darker I sometimes have to jack up the ISO to 12,800 on my 5DMK3 to accommodate my 100-400L. So, below are a few good ones; most taken with a 100-400L, though at least one was with a rented 400mm f4 DO.
Thanks for lookin'.
