Not bad for OOC JPG with LR adjustments (ISO 4000) in a high school gym....

50/1.2L at f1.2
1/1000
ISO 4000

ISO 4000? Pretty nice. Bet the lighting in that gym is craptastic. You did a good job.

Thanks for sharing!
That low-light performance looks freakin' amazing!

I am still new at sports photography. For this sport, do you think you needed 1/1000th shutter? Would 1/500th work and that would enable a slightly aperature at the same ISO. I am thinking of a sharper image and a little more DoF.

Choosing the right shutter speed is one of the hardest problems when I started moving away from static landscapes into "things that move".

Actually was shot at f2 (sorry for typo) and I purposely raised shutter speed just to test the higher ISO
When shooting for this high school website (and not intending to print) I can play around like that

Another higher ISO sample - converted with DPP to TIF, some basic LR adjustments then Dfine NR applied.
Quick post-processing just to see how well it cleared up. OK for web viewing but not sure it could be printed at any size.
Ps this was taken with 200-400/1.4x at 420 mm, ISO 6400 from within a deer blind at a range of ~75 -100 yards maybe....

Very instructive. It looks really good for that ISO. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, one needs a 1000. The action will not be sharper 1/500, no matter the dof (motion blur).

So, please post more!!! ;D

finally a decent day without a total downpour,went out on my roof deck and played with the AF and I am impressed it locked on easily and the 10fps makes it easy to get a great shot .equipment used the 7d mkII with 300 f/2.8II +2xIII all pics went to DPP then to LR all are cropped .

Very nice series Runnerguy. I especially like the first picture.

The Pigeon shot is quite nice. Thanks for sharing. Anxiously waiting to get my hands on the 7D MKII.

Thank you I've been waiting for indoor sports photographs from this camera.

shot as JPG, custom WB and edited in LR

ISO 5000
f2 200/L
1/800

still JPG OOC with custom WB, and LR editing - a little trouble with skin tones/WB

Did have the anti-flicker function active for these shots - and it probably dropped fps to 6-7, writing to 2 cards (RAW to CF and JPG to SD) and had to do quick on-site edits in between sets to give to my editor....so this is as close to real - life sports shooting as you can get. When ACR recognizes these files, I may go back and push the post processing to see how much better it could have been, but given the fact I shot 400+ shots in 1 1/2 hours, then quickly picked 35 best and did quick edits on-site with my laptop, the JPGs were surprisingly usable. I shot RAW with my other bodies
and I'll post the 'comparisons' once the I can process the 7d RAW - just to keep it fair

Last one for tonite
This was with the venerable 70-200/2.8 IS II
f2.8 1/640

ISO 10,000 !!!!

Probably not printing this, but for a high school website, or sharing with a parents' phone, unbelievably usable....

As I was looking at the previous picture I asked, in my mind, "wonder if the anti-flicker was on and did it make a difference?" and you answered the question for me. Thanks for posting these pictures. I got my 7DII Friday and set up the CF/SD just like you did.

For the whole series...

Crappy unbalanced gymnasium light.....
Fast action.....
Dark uniforms that are hard to focus on...
It takes a lot more than a good camera to pull off those shots under those conditions.... Good job!

Dude, I think this photo ISO10000 is perfectly usable to print half a page of a sports magazine. If you were to convert to black and white, I would use up to a full page. Really impessionante. Thanks for sharing your nice photos.
