volleyball tizzou
went and shot a volley ball game, I think took around 200+ pictures, here are some of the better shots. It was fun but hard; I had to keep the iso up to keep the shutter speed up as well ap. Luckily though I got to use a 70-200L 2.8 =D Such nice quality.

All that has been done is resizing and converting to .jpeg

GET CLOSER. It looks like you came late to the game and you're just roaming around. If you can go up to 200mm, then I expect better than this. These should be tighter even if you're expecting to crop. Also, the angles you're taking these pictures at aren't the best. Before you shoot a sports event, you should at least know the basis of the game so you have in mind what to take pictures of. Spike shots should be easy to take since the setter usually lofts it up for them. The ball should be much closer to the spiker, not a couple of feet away. You might as well set it to continuous shooting if you're using digital anyway.

Cool, thanks for the tips.

I know what volleyball is and how it plays I didn't know what angles or stuff to shoot from. I figured a higher up perspective would mean less blockage of shots from other players and better angle to see faces.

The crowd is distracting. You should be closer to the action so that when you are at 2.8 the crowd goes out of focus.

Also, more recognizable faces and close-ups of super serious expressions.
