This was one of the pictures from last weeks game, finaly got time to upload them. It was an awesome game, great one to watch. It was neck and neck up to the end. The home team won.

I took my flash this time, and found out that its way too bright! I lost a bunch of pictures cause it overexposed everything. So it looks like Drew gets to go buy a different flash.... I am looking to buy a flash with TTL metering for my D70. I will most likely get the Nikon SB-800. That way I know that the exposure will be perfect with my f2.8 lens.

The problem that i'm having, is my flash would work great at f8 or f5.6, but with sports I cant do that, I need to stay at my f2.8. If I did go with f8 or f5.6 I would one, loose the depth of field I need, and two it wont look right with the flash being the main source of light. I cant use Neutral density filters because my lens wont be able to use auto focus. Also my flash is already at its lowest setting, I guess thats what you get for getting a big metz flashhead. Next game i'm going to rent the flash I want to buy, and give it a test run. We will see how things turn out from there.

Anyway enjoy!
