Thanks for posting your technique, Lionel. I'll add that to my database.
Thanks, Zalan. I appreciate the info.
I've been using ACR and finding the appropriate WB for the NEF convesion, then applying that to the rest of the images. Seems to works pretty fast, but I'll take a look at the CC tool as well.
Yeah, I hear you. Perhaps if this turns out to generate some decent money, I'll invest in some strobes. I'd much prefer using the settings you describe, to the ones I'm using now....
Very cool shots, Kenny. I really like that one of the kid up in the air.
Very cool shot, Zelig! Yes, I'll have to explore that avenue. I like the perspective I get from the goal area, but don't like the issues associated with shooting through the glass.
I understand and agree, for small amounts of images. But for sports, I'm shooting 300-400 frames per game. I don't want to spend a ton of time later, especially on the hockey photos, in post processing for the little gains to be had with using capture first. Of course, I could be missing something too.at least the white balance option than in Capture. I had
difficulties the correct the color cast in Capture, but in ACR you
have a tint option if I remember correctly, so it is easier there.
On the other hand I much prefer Capture's output, looks better, so
I use color correction later
Yes, that's true. I do pretty much the same thing, but I'm not looking for artistic stuff. I am taking the photos to sell to the parents. They want to see their kids in action. That means I have to take a lot of photos of as many players as possible. If I do more than one game, it gets way out of hand.
Yeah, it's a rather unique perspective.
I noticed that the glass looked pretty bad, actually as bad as the cheap rinks I've been to so far. I'd be kinda unhappy with paying good money to watch a game through that stuff.... Haven't seen a "lens hole" in the glass at the 2 rinks I've attended.
Thanks!
Good luck with the better seating. I'm going to try that myself, when the situation permits.
