for everyone

My apologies for the dark photos. I do not have the right lens and brightening the images creates more noise.

It was an evening game.
Sta. Clara Broncos vs. USF Dons
USF lost. 2-1.

fidel, Nice shots man!
Have you tried using photoshop to bring up the highlights? If noise appears, you can run it through noise ninja :D

Fidel, I apologize for not following up on the shoot. Hehe, sorry. Next time, tuloy na talaga. Somethin just came up.

I like the composition of #22. You captured it well.

Re the underexposed photos, I recommend adjusting the color curves (which you did already). Noise reduction has the tendency of blurring details a bit, imo. But either way will be fine, I guess.

The best solution however is to buy the F/2.8 VR (Nikon term, so translate to Canon) lens! Haha. Downtown SF has a great camera discount store almost complete with everything since the turn of the century. ;)

Hey vic, sure, just give me a call. Haha. I WISH I could get that kind of lens, would be perfect for both day and night sports events... One day... :)
