She Photographed with Me: How did she do?

[@edwardmorton7246]

"Try to keep the feet in". So true! Great video. You gave this photographer some great tips!

[@JuanPenaphotography]

Been shooting soccer for 15 years, she did a great job to be the first time.

[@KainoaBlackeagle]

I completely agree about getting the centering and composition while out in the field. Because it sharpens your live/ present time skills. You inspired me to never crop my shots again, thanks Jared!👍🏾

[@markguerin6071]

Kainoa - skip the "Telegram" offer. Likely a scam and not Jared.

[@Flojani]

Hi Jared, I do not believe she cropped too much on her photos. Some were definitely cropped, but some seemed to be just minor adjustments (such as straightening the photo). Something to note is that I noticed you're using the Pro Display XDR. This display has a 6K resolution screen, which comes out to 19MP. So zooming in 1:1 on a 20MP image from an R6 won't zoom in much at all since you have so many pixels on the screen, hence why some photos look like she cropped a lot when she probably didn't crop so much or at all (such as the 4th and 5th image).

[@noordeinde38]

I rely on the auto-iso setting on my D500. I use always a monopod and do not tighten the screw of the Tripod collar. With this “setting” I am able to get a proper horizon. I always use the lightroom option to get it right.

[@rastaroor24]

Amazing video. I really never touch the texture or clarity slider when I shoot sports but im going to give it a try next time and see how I like it. I really liked her photos as well especially the sweat photo. Thanks for another great video Jared.

[@michaelrousseau4373]

Great video as always ...... I have been having a blast shooting my daughters soccer games with my R5 wish i had the 2.8 version of the 70-200 but the f4 works good for most the games . i do find it challenging to keep up sometimes especially when AF jumps to the wrong person i keep trying to find the best AF settings for the games .

[@fiorellachagnier]

I think that most important tip for photographers is to not be afraid of using higher ISO. In this case, she didn't miss the exposure that much, but begginers usually use low ISO and also underexpose pictures. Turning up that missing information in post-production is worse than setting high ISO in the shoot but get the exposure right and more info. At least that's what I notice in my experience as a photography teacher. Thank you for the content you create. Is really useful for me to keep learning new things and theory about photography. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@tomrandall6539]

Yeah that's how I've always tried to play it, and as I use m43 myself it's way more important to give the camera as much light as possible, which sometimes means overexposing; or rather exposing to the right (being obviously careful with highlights) - but this technique lets you correct exposure in post by turning it down, as opposed to bringing it up. Much much better for noise and shadow detail control!

[@mrwashur1991]

Also some people don’t know that high iso when there is light is generally fine. It’s when there’s not enough light and the iso is high that you get noise. It’s always hard when you have a new camera to learn that. I had a tough time shooting above 400 with my a6300 since I came from the e500. Then with my a7iv it was hard for me to remember that I can easily go above 3200 unlike my a6300. I forgot I could go above 3200 when I was shooting groomsmen photos and a few were blurry due to motion blur.

[@tomrandall6539]

@@mrwashur1991 Again true. And actually even at base ISO if you're not exposing the camera properly you can still end up with shoddy quality. And again, shooting with a smaller sensor format makes you work this technique to the bone; I can get some pretty good results out of an older Olympus camera at ISO6400 and some "usable" (if careful) shots at 12800. Granted, it takes more work to make them presentable, but it really does show that exposure really is important when pushing it up!

[@HikingBob]

I shoot a lot of outdoor macro shots, especially this time of the year when wildflowers are in bloom. It is not uncommon for me to shoot at ISO 800, 1000 or 1250 in daylight, just so I can get decent depth of field AND a reasonably quick shutter speed to freeze subject movement (focus stacking is usually not an option due to subject movement). With modern sensors and AI noise reduction software, there is no reason to not use high ISO's.

What is the proper way to set up the monitor to get accurate color before you start tweaking?

[@Kenneth_R]

She did great! I think nowadays its MUCH better to shoot "looser" compositions and just crop and rotate after the fact. You cant replace the action and with digital you can shoot away. Up to a point of course since you dont want to be consumed by the post production process but you get the idea.

[@ChickenMeister84]

Thought you were being too nice to her in the beginning, but glad you started giving her some proper feedback after. Learning is done better through brutal critiques than nice comments.

@@guitarmangdlz if you go by your eye on multiple monitors then print, you will have multiple different pictures. That's why the histogram exists, because different monitors with different brightness settings will trick your eye.

I don't disagree, but isn't it a good thing that the editor can crop so they can shape the image to fit their website or whatever they use it for? I find that very useful in my own job as webmaster

[@tomrandall6539]

I have no idea about sports photography, but I'm curious as to why you thought those images were too bright? I thought the exposure and clarity were bang on, and a nice even histogram (although I know that's not everything). I just thought they were a little dark if anything when you reduced the exposure on some of them. Just curious!

[@vvsmorethanever9187]

Lol watch some of his other critique videos, all he does is promote his presets to sell , bro talks about “skittles” all the time , the shots in my opinion were great , maybe a higher shutter speed at some shots but that’s a knit pick.

[@tomrandall6539]

Reading through the comments seems like a few of these questions have popped up so yeah, probably different calibrated displays. Watched this between my work screen and my phone at max brightness but still seemed a little dark. BUT it depends on the final medium doesn't it; outputting for screen you'd maybe keep the brightness (as general consumers may not typically have max brightness on devices all the time). Printing may go a little darker but highly dependant on the paper/media type. Also with sports action shots, you've got the client to deal with and what they are going to want, so there's probably not going to be a right or wrong answer there is there.

[@EricRudolph9]

Which model Walk Stool do you use?

[@tectorama]

I thought that she (you didn't give her name) did very well. I shoot a lot of field hockey games using my Z7ii and 70-200 2,8 . Lighting is always tricky, especially in the winter when the light starts to go and the floodlights come on. The light can even change in different parts of the pitch. So much so that I now often use auto ISO. I will typically take up to 200 shots during a game, cutting back to about 70 which I will post on Google photos for the players to see. About the only editing I do, is cropping and adjustments to exposure and levelling. From what I could see, she got the exposures fine, you cut them back to look under exposed. Then again my screen isn't calibrated..

In a situation like this where you say that the lighting is bad and changes so drastically would there be an advantage or disadvantage to setting Color temperature to a specific Kelvin and would that make editing easier or harder?

[@definedphotography]

if you were under constant, artificial lighting then setting a color temp would make things easier. in daylight, its potentially changing during the game, so leaving it on auto does a decent enough job. That said, it doesn't need to be color accurate - good enough will do.

@@froknowsphoto most wedding photographers tend to SLIGHTLY over expose. Not a whole stop but maybe by a third of a stop. I’m emphasizing the “slightly” because no one wants a image over exposed by an entire stop. Plus, every sports illustrated photo is also at either perfect exposure or SLIGHTLY overexposed by again maybe a third stop at most. So to me, it’s been fine for a very long time.

Great video and this young woman did a fantastic job! I would have been too nervous to shoot in front of Jared.

Sadly - there is so much motion blur anything lower than 1/1000th...so this sort of gave me some validation. Shooting in uneven or crappy lighting is hard...she did amazing!
