High School football is in full swing!!!!
Perhaps the most challenging HS Sport to shoot. Poor lighting on cold nights trying to get 500 shutter speed at ISO 2500 is a a challenge. The last 2 years I have mounted a SB 800 20 inches below lens on a home made bracket attached to my mono pod . This approach get s light up into the helmets and helps reduce red eye( or Demon eye)
I set SB 800 to manual 1/3 step below 1/2 power
ISO 500-800 SS 250 and F 2.8-F 4



Here are a few shots using my setup
