Got in on tickets and potentially a sideline pass for OSU/Colorado. Anyone who's been to a game at OSU, are they sticklers about cameras?

Nothing over 100mm is allowed, and they gave my OM-1 a pretty good lookover to be sure of it. still, lot less stupid than Michigan. Between OSU/Colorado and Cincinnati/NC State, I have 7 rolls being developed. I'm sure this will be nice and inexpensive

They're all pretty good but the shoe-tying one is kind of wrecked with the red player. I'd absolutely crop him out.

F/16 FOOTBAW    Florescent lights do some interesting things to film. Probably not very surprising but yeah, makes a hell of a blue/green tint.   Also this is why you should always point cameras at student sections. They will notice you, and they will go crazy. It's seriously a law or something.

Oh my god I loooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve my new E-5. Let's take a look at how rough the E-30 sometimes performed at ISO 2000, with only white balance corrected in post: Yeesh. Now let's look at the new E-5. Everything here has only been corrected for W/B, and aside from the last picture, is all at ISO 2000 or 2500. The same lens was used in both and these are all taken at the same arena.

But instead, Daytona NOT HAPPENING was the huge front page spread. Lame. The first one here has a hilarious expression and I love it. The one of coach and his kids is just adorable too.  Third one is pretty clever. I need to try that sometime.

They aren't bad but they all look snap-shotty. You pretty much either need to be right against the apron or somehow above the level of the ropes because they're really blocking a lot of the action and sometimes it looks like your camera's focus found them instead of the boxers. In the same way that the rule of thumb in sports is "two players and a ball", you might want to think of filling your frame with "two boxers and a punch". Ideally you'd be standing at ground level, against the apron. This puts you below the fighters, and close enough to shoot through the ropes like the shot I linked. It takes the ropes out of your shots and the lower perspective makes the fighters look bigger. If you're further away, I'd also change the metering to center or spot. In terms of more of the technical stuff, 1/200 is probably a bit too slow to be capturing punches. Obviously it's got to be tough shooting in what looks like a very dim gymnasium. From your EXIF data, your lens is an f/4.0. Do you have anything faster? That would help in spades. You're capturing good moments but the ropes are hurting you, and I would toss the 2nd in part because of the backs of peoples' heads in the shot. I know I'm sounding like a dick in this and I don't intend to Any indoor sports can be miserable to shoot. Especially ones with really quick action like this.
