Nice, tough in those low light gyms. I'm shooting a basketball game to day for some parents, kids are in the 4th/5th grade. I think I can get away with a flash. Do you think the 420ex has enough power to bounce off the high ceilings? The college gyms probably be better lighting. As always your sport stuff is cool......ace |
bounce? no. with your 20d, though, you shouldn't need flash. you should be able to shoot iso800 or iso1600 and get around 1/320 - 1/400, which is more than adequate. with kids that age, you could probably even go down to 1/200 and still acceptably freeze the action. if you want to use the flash, though, just point it at them, and make necessary adjustments with the flash compensation control. i can't remember, but i don't think the 420 has high-speed sync--be sure to check first. good luck, and have fun! |
