Thanks for the comments. I have set up a public gallery HERE. So if you want you can see how they are going. The ones that I thumbnailed have been brightened up and look better now. If you are into MMA at all, the quickest knock out of the evening was 14 seconds. Roundhouse kick to the chin.
The promo shots were done with 2 Alien Bee 800's. Key was camera left at 100% through a shoot through umbrella and the rim light was at camera right at 50% about 45 deg behind the subjects left shoulder aimed up through a shoot through umbrella.

I just went through the gallery and have a quick question. Why in the world would you shoot at F25? Or is that a smugmug error? As powerful as AB800's are it would certainly be hard to hit good exposure at F25, ISO 200, and 1/200 I can see why you would have to lighten them.
Matt
And yes I like the poses and the lighting technique. Just curious as to your thinking on the settings.

| I had to shoot alot closer to the backround than I wanted to. I was getting alot of ambient light. 1/200 is the max sync speed of the D90 and I needed the high f stop to make the backdrop come out black. At F25 the exposure looked good on the screen and with the black backround I couldn't really rely on the histogram as much as usual (probably more inexperiece). |

Matt0 is right. Why did muckpond post photos here? It is obvious you are a rookie or you would know you loose all ownership rights without your copyright water mark when posted on a public forum...they are now public domain photos. But judging from the shots I don't think anyone would want to pirate anyway. Pretty bad choice of f/stop. Notice how prominent the cage links are? A more shallow DOF would make the links less visible. So you shoot for a newspaper?????
If David has to use the $$$ to purchase a lens for the shoot, (especially one so cheap) I question how much professional work he has done. Granted I have purchased a specific Canon L series lens (85mm L f/1.2 USM) but I was sent to Cabo to shoot a well known rocker at his home and that shoot dictated using a world class lens.....but a $150.00 50mm? mmmm.
Just a thought. |

OKay here are some tips for Cage Fighting Photography.
Use a 24-70 mm F2.8, 70-200 F2.8 and a 10-20 F4-5.6. Use a strobist using a 430EX and 3 580EX II Speedlights through umbrella or softboxes, usually umbrellas because they give a slightly harder light and emphasis battle wounds such as scar tissue and broken noses.
One large problem is the blood on your lens(((bring wipes)), you should mostly be laying on the floor with your head and camera upright. The strobes and umbrellas could be a problem (cus it can stun the fighters)
If you shoot at F2.8, it will pull in the light, to avoid motion blue, set the ISO at 3200 to provide a faster shutter speed of at least 1/500 sec. Sweet spot is 1/640 at F4 at large shows that have stadium lights.
Hope that helps! |
