Both of the jumping catches seem either a touch soft or a bit blurry. How fast were you shooting?

Hell yeah, looking forward to seeing it. I need to get into more stuff when my foot heals back up. I've been dying to put my EM1x to work on some sports/action but I lost a fight with an ATV and broke the gently caress out of my ankle a couple months ago.

I'd imagine there's a way to disable the touch functions on the screen. That messed with me for a while.

Dangerllama posted:Didn’t see this answered in the op, but x-posting from the general questions thread: Where to place yourself depends on the sport itself, where you're allowed to go, what you've got with you, etc. Where you can go and what you can do in a youth or high school event is going to be wildly different from college or pro settings. Soccer is a massive field, one of the biggest in mainstream sports, which means you're going to need reach on reach. Helps a bit that your son's young so i'm sure it's not a full size field. You're going to have to keep zooming as the game goes, tracking the action and firing when you have something that fills the frame well, or is a good moment you think you can crop later.  BRW20154 by Ben Wilcox, on FlickrThis is on the long end of my 40-150mm f/2.8, I'm on the sideline probably about 25 yards from the end line.  BRW20169 by Ben Wilcox, on FlickrSame position, zoomed out to 95mm. The whole time in both shots I know I need to get full bodies since the ball is almost always on or near the ground. Fill the frame, make sure you've got faces, fire away. If you've got a prime, you're going to need to be patient. This was in some steady to driving rain, so swapping lenses wasn't going to happen. On the other hand, I've got a shitload of reach, and a sport where the ball is largely held around waist to shoulder level, so I don't need to get the full bodies of the players in the shots.Long as you can clearly tell what's happening, it works.  BRW90013 by Ben Wilcox, on Flickr BRW90318 by Ben Wilcox, on Flickr BRW90473 by Ben Wilcox, on FlickrIf you're on a zoom lens, there's really no reason you shouldn't be constantly ready to change the zoom of your shot in most sports. The really great moments can happen in a flash, and you've got to do what you can to make your life a little easier by keeping track of the action, knowing your speed and aperture are set right, and going on the fastest burst mode available.

Yeah backgrounds are really important. If you don't have a fast aperture lens, then you really need to consider what's on the other side of the field from you. Cars, team benches, etc. 00000019 by Ben Wilcox, on FlickrIf this wasn't at f/2.8, it'd be a total mess. Heck, it still kind of is, but part of that is the film just going  HOLY poo poo COLOR and the scan not being great

Freezing human movement, even kid movement, pretty much needs a shutter speed of 1/400 or faster. If memory serves, futsal is purely indoors which means you're likely dealing with florescent lights, which are going to flicker, meaning you'll get both over and under exposed shots and not realize it until you see them later. Crank your ISO for one, and yeah you're going to need a lens faster than an f/3.5. Indoor sports asks the world of any camera and lens, whether it's a consumer body or something really high-end. If you don't want to spend a ton of money, i'd just enjoy the game and maybe get some video on your phone or camera every so often. Getting the body and lens combo you're going to need to get decent photos is going to cost a LOT and whether or not that's worth it for photos of your kid is your own decision, but be aware.

you're going to be asking a LOT of any point-and-shoot for wrestling photos from the stands, FYI. If you've got other uses for the camera in your travels, then go to town, but I feel like you're throwing good money after bad if all you want it for is the wrestling photos. E: I don't mean to poo poo on your idea or anything, I just don't want to see you drop the money and then be disappointed in what you get. Most lighting setups for wrestling/boxing are really rough for even the highest-end camera bodies held by the photographers right up against the ring, to say nothing of the people in the stands. Those pocketable P&S cameras are still plenty nice to have for other travel shots though, so if you've got other sights to see, I think you'll enjoy it.

a cat youtube posted:I’ll be at some very small Venues up close too but this will just be a general travel camera as well. Some thing I could put in my pocket on the go. Then yeah go to town! It'll still be hit and miss in the smaller venues but as an overall travel camera those are all good options

Dangerllama posted:Fuji question for y'all: I shot my son's soccer scrimmage yesterday and got a few keepers, but also quite a few (maybe 80%) slightly out-of-focus images. Settings on my X-T3 + 55-200 were: Set it single point and try to focus directly on the player you're targeting. Bear in mind you're still going to miss some because even little kid soccer still makes life tough on cameras. You're also depending on both the speed of the body to focus and the speed of the lens to adjust to it. You won't get all keepers but it should help. Remember, two faces and a ball.
