I was asked today to shoot a series of hockey games.
I realized fast that I should not have sold my 300 2.8L!
So I started to look to replace that magic lens. I was surprised to find how well people reported on the rival Sigma 300 2.8 snapping into focus and as fast with the x1.4 and x2.0.
I was surprised to discover that Tamron and Tokina compete here too.
So I wonder what you use for shooting games like soccer and hockey?
1. Camera and lens 300mm 2.8 or what?
2. Focus setting Tracking or not?
3. Image quality MP size? JPG or RAW and then convert to jpg, I dont think so!
4. Software to Ingest: Photomechanic, ivewmedia Pro or what?
5. Processing printing from what software?
6. Print on site? if so printer?
Shooting so many people is arduous. Such a lot of emotions are at stake and all this get captured in the photos. Then the winning team's pics with trophy's are marvelous!
Could you shae what you use!
