2 Inch Mini TrafficCones

White Balance: Auto for day and night games, but I adjust it if it looks funky at night or if I’m shooting in a dome. A lot depends on the lighting in the stadium.

F-stop: f/2.8 Note: I shoot wide open (using the lowest numbered f/stop) on whichever lens I’m using at the time, and I don’t change my f/stop the entire day.

P.S. A big thanks to everybody who came out to my seminar in Indianapolis last Thursday. Such a great group of photographers (and thanks for the awesome turnout). Next step: Minneapolis on September 21, 2016. Tickets here.

Memory Cards: Lexar Professional 1066x Compact Flash Cards Note: I generally use a 64GB or 128GB, but both are overkill because I shoot in JPEG, so I only use about 12GB on my main camera, and 6 or 7GB on my 2nd body.

4 Inch Mini TrafficCones

Shutter Speed: 1/1000 of a second or faster Note: For late afternoon or night games, I turn on Auto ISO and I set my MINIMUM shutter speed to 1/1000 of a second, so no matter what, I’ll also have at least 1/1000 of a second to freeze the action.

Bodies: Main body: Canon EOS 1Dx 2nd Body: Canon EOS 1Dx Note: I don’t have the Canon 1Dx Mark II yet. Canon gave me a loaner for a weekend to review, but I haven’t bought one yet. I don’t have a 7D Mark II either – again, another weekend loaner.

If you’re into sports photography (or even just getting into it)… …we have a bunch of full-length online classes at KelbyOne, but I’d maybe start with these:

Auto Focus Configuration Tool Preset: Case 4 (on Canon cameras), but sometimes I switch back to Case 1 if I feel like I’m having a bad focus day and I want to blame it on the equipment instead of the real problem.

Have a great Monday, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow when I’ve got a cool tip for what to do when you have a damaged JPEG image.

Lenses: Main camera: Day game: 200-400mm f/4 Main camera: Night game: 400mm f/2.8 (to keep ISO lower) 2nd Body: 70-200mm f/2.8 and/or 24-70mm f/2.8
